摘要：This pilot study examined client satisfaction with teletherapy for treatment of mild to moderately severe depression. Four indicators of satisfaction were assessed, satisfaction with the process of therapy, ability to form a therapeutic relationship, teletherapy medium, and willingness to refer. Seventeen women residing in rural Utah communities received therapy through a unique delivery medium referred to as Technologically Assisted Psychotherapeutic Intervention (TAPI). Mean scores, z-scores, and two-tailed tests of significance were used to determine level of reported satisfaction across the various indicators. Data suggest that participants were very satisfied with the process of therapy, were able to form an empathic bond with their therapist, and indicated willingness to refer others for teletherapy (TAPI). A moderate degree of satisfaction was noted for the delivery medium (TAPI).
