Counselling by phone offers convenience privacy Minneapolis a people who need counsel ing can turn to an increasing number of Telephone therapists who offer their clients the convenience and privacy of not having to leave their Home or office. Psychologist Marilyn f. Mason operates Tele psych inc. In Minneapolis and says Many of her clients arc male executives too Busy to visit her in person or concerned about being seen entering a psychologist s office. Some psychologists however Aren t sure such serv ices Are in the client s Best interest we have some concerns about doing therapy in this Way said David h. Mills ethics director of the Washington based american psychological association. Our ethics code says psychotherapy is done m the cont Jit of a personal  the association has no rules governing Telephone psychologists who have been cropping up across the country in increasing numbers. Mills said. Out guidelines will prob ably be adopted by the end of j january he said. The names used by Telephone psychologists such As shrink link in new York and dial a shrink in los Angeles Are troubling Mills said. I Don t think they Are in the Best taste he said. But he added we Are More interested m wham hey Are doing than in what they re calling themselves. Mason who opened a traditional practice in Jan uary and added Telephone sen ice in May charges j30 for the first 10 minutes and $11 for an additional 10 minutes payable through major credit cards. For an hour Chat her fee is s75, $5 More than she charges for an office visit. Unlike Mills Jacqueline Bouhoutsos. A Urcla psychology professor and founder of the association for Media psychology a sub group of the american psychological association said she in t bothered by Tele phone psychology. She equates it with radio psychology which she said the Public perceives As educational rather than therapeutic. Back in the late 70s. There was a concern on the pan of a lot of mental health professionals that this kind of advice giving might be deleterious to listeners and or callers Bouhoutsos said. Then in 1981, the american psychological association lifted ils ban on radio psychology. One would think in five years since the Elchies code was changed that the possibility of damage would have surfaced Bouhoutsos said. The Assumption is if the phenomenon is not helpful in is Al least  insurance companies cast a wary Eye on Telephone counselling. Richard c. Imbert president of american professional Agency inc., a major writer of mental health malpractice insurance said he would cancel the policy of any psychologist he Learned was doing Telephone psychology work. I Don t consider that Good therapy. I Don t think you could provide accurate and Correct psychological services on the Telephone Imbert said. If a claim were to arise there could be arguments whether it Falls within the grounds of the  Mason maintains that Telephone counselling differs Little from the work of traditional psychologists. But she is Quick to Point out Trie limitations of work ing by phone and her flyers say she makes referrals when necessary. For example she won t accept As regu Lar Telephone clients people who suffer from agoraphobia a fear of being in open or Public places. And Mason insists she in t offering therapy by Tele phone. You can t give therapy in two or three min utes. Thai s not credible she said. Still she maintains she can help people with their problems. A lol of people who Call sort of have an idea of where they want to go but Don t Trust their own judgment Mason said
