Children and adolescents living in rural areas have difficulty accessing psychological services due to a lack of psychologists and other behavioral health professionals, especially those with expertise in treating youth. Telepsychology helps bridge this access gap. This article extends evidence supporting videoconferencing for psychological assessment and treatment in adults to support telepsychological treatment for youth. In addition, the basic components needed to begin and sustain a telepsychological practice are explored. Finally, a case example of an adolescent presenting with depression and disordered eating illustrates the practice of, and ethical standards needed for, telepsychology. Future technologies and applications around telepsychology are also discussed.
由于缺乏心理学家和其他行为健康专业人员，尤其是缺乏治疗青少年专业知识的人员，农村地区的儿童和青少年难以获得心理服务。远程心理学有助于弥补这一获取差距。本文扩展了支持视频会议用于成人心理评估和治疗的证据，以支持对青少年的远程心理治疗。此外，还探讨了开展和维持远程心理治疗业务所需的基本要素。最后，一个患有抑郁症和饮食失调症的青少年案例说明了远程心理学的实践以及所需的道德标准。还讨论了围绕远程心理学的未来技术和应用。
