%X All areas of life are covered by the technological development, the use of computer and Internet. This media world does not stop in front of the carefully protected, therapeutic areas. It seems to be necessary to examine the possibilities of psychotherapy or psychotherapeutic counseling with videophone. In this qualitative research, different kind of aspects by psyhotherapists will be presented of how to engage in psychotherapy by using videophone. Furthermore are shown the specifics of the therapeutic relationship, the limits shown in a screen-to-screen treatment and the expectations of the psychotherapists for the future. Examining this subject it became clear that the experts act very carefully when selecting the patients and keep staying within their self-imposed limits. In this area the development of a sound relationship and a successful therapy is possible. For the future, experts hope that the question of the legal general regulations and the protection of quality will be solved. Psychotherapy with videophone shall be offered in addition to mental health care but the presence-therapy should not be replaced.
