- Abstract : Objective: Our objective was to identify, review and synthesise the findings of articles regarding the practice of synchronous digital couple and family psychotherapy over the past three decades. Methods: A meta‐narrative approach was adopted. Results: Thirty‐one papers were identified for inclusion in the review, including nine descriptions of practice and 22 empirical studies. Conclusions: Findings show that practitioners have used synchronous digital technologies in their work over decades. Psychoeducative and cognitive‐behaviourally oriented hybrid, self‐directed synchronous family and couple psychotherapeutic interventions have been found to be feasible, effective with diverse populations, are associated with good user satisfaction, and are found to have similar clinical outcomes to in‐person psychotherapy. Further research is required. Practitioner points: Over the past 30 years there has been increasing interest in utilising new technologies in couple and family psychotherapeutic interventions to improve access to services and to help with a variety of presenting problems For families and couples, interventions involving web‐based psychoeducative material combined with ‐ often minimal ‐ synchronous therapeutic or coaching input seem feasible, acceptable and effective More quantitative and qualitative research into digitally mediated couple, family and systemic psychotherapy is required to determine what works, with whom and how it works in practice.Abstract : Objective: Our objective was to identify, review and synthesise the findings of articles regarding the practice of synchronous digital couple and family psychotherapy over the past three decades.

Abstract : 目的:我们的目的是识别、回顾和综合过去三十年有关同步数字化的伴侣和家庭心理治疗实践文章的发现。 方法:采用了元叙事法。 结果:共有31篇论文被纳入综述,包括9篇实践描述和22篇实证研究。 结论:研究结果表明,几十年以来,从业者在他们的工作中使用了同步数字技术。心理教育和认知行为导向的混合、自我导向的同步家庭和伴侣心理治疗干预被发现是可行的,对不同人群有效,与良好的来访者满意度相关,并且发现与面对面心理治疗具有相似的临床结果。对此还需要进一步研究。 从业者要点: 在过去30年中,人们越来越有兴趣利用新技术进行伴侣和家庭心理治疗干预,以改善获得服务的机会,并帮助解决各种问题 对于家庭和伴侣来说,包含在线心理教育材料的干预措施,结合通常很少的同步治疗或辅导投入,似乎是可行的、可接受的和有效的 需要对伴侣、家庭和系统性心理治疗进行更多的定量和定性研究,以确定什么是有效的,对谁有效以及如何在实践中发挥作用。 Abstract : Objetivo: Nuestro objetivo fue identificar, revisar y sintetizar los hallazgos de artículos sobre la práctica de la psicoterapia digital sincrónica de pareja y familia durante las últimas tres décadas. Métodos: Se adoptó un enfoque meta‐narrativo. Resultados: Se identificaron treinta y un artículos para su inclusión en la revisión, incluidas nueve descripciones de la práctica y 22 estudios empíricos. Conclusiones: Los resultados muestran que los profesionales han utilizado tecnologías digitales sincrónicas en su trabajo durante décadas. Se ha encontrado que las intervenciones psicoterapéuticas psicoeducativas y cognitivo‐conductuales híbridas, autodirigidas sincrónicas familiares y de pareja son factibles, efectivas con poblaciones diversas, están asociadas con una buena satisfacción del usuario y tienen resultados clínicos similares a la psicoterapia en persona. Se requiere más investigación. Puntos de implicación práctica: Durante los últimos 30 años ha habido un creciente interés en utilizar nuevas tecnologías en intervenciones psicoterapéuticas de pareja y familia para mejorar el acceso a los servicios y ayudar con una variedad de problemas presentes. Para las familias y las parejas, las intervenciones que involucran material psicoeducativo basado en la web, combinadas con aportaciones terapéuticas o de coaching, a menudo mínimas, parecen factibles, aceptables y efectivas. Se requiere más investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa sobre psicoterapia de pareja, familiar y sistémica para determinar qué funciona, con quién y cómo funciona en la práctica. … (more)
