Psychiatric services increasingly use internet technologies to enhance and support usual therapies, which are based on direct personal contact.
An anonymous e-mail-request of a young girl obviously requiring psychiatric support and treatment is illustrated, characterized by the intention of the service to establish personal contact.
Chances and limitations of psychiatric interventions using the internet are discussed.
