Abstract

ABSTRACT: When the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent in March 2020, questions about the role teletherapy could play in mental health treatments and psychoanalysis of children and adolescents suddenly moved from the hypothetical – can it work? – to the essential – how will it work? The two papers in this section provide an early snapshot showing challenges and possibilities brought about by the necessity of moving to distance technologies to preserve and protect analytic work despite the global crisis.
