ABSTRACT

The issue of online contact in the area of diagnosis and therapy is currently the subject of research interest. The change brought about by the development of information and communication technology, in retrospect, can be safely called a breakthrough. The expansion of tools for remote communication, Portable Electronic Devices and the hybrid way of functioning of today's generations have put psychologists, psychotherapists and clinicians in front of new challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly forced an even greater focus on the topic of introducing digital technology to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The successive appearance of applications, methods and devices to support the building of relationships and attachment bonds in the connected offline space – online reopens topics discussed in diagnosis and therapy. A hybrid way of functioning, online communication, transferring development, relations and the basis for shaping attachment to the digital network becomes a fact.
