ABSTRACT
The school of thought in couple and family therapy determines the seating arrangement online. Imago relations therapy puts a significant emphasis on sharing and active listening, so the couple should actually face each other. Hence one should consider using two different computers according to this approach. Video therapy enables the therapist to observe the couple’s faces in a very detailed way. Each of the partners sees the therapist’s face in detail as well. Therefore, there is a unique advantage in sitting close to the camera. Emotional flooding is an important factor in the assessment and the treatment of a couple. The Gottman method uses technical tools such as a pulse oximeter for each of the partners. In video therapy these technological means can be easier to use and implement. Recording the couple therapy sessions is common in many couple therapy schools and is in fact built-in for training couple therapists, and for receiving feedback and supervision.
