Narrative and Internet: possibilities and restrictions of psychological assistance by computers

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect about the possibility of psychological attendance by computer. We tried to make a conection between psychoterapy and the description of the technologies of intelligence - orality, writing and data processing. We conclude that clinical attendance, as an instituted entity, involves the necessity of physical presence of the therapist, what doesn't put aside the effort of finding other modalities of meetings.
