With advances in technology, telehealth has become an acceptable way of conducting psychotherapy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth and ways to modify treatments for delivery via telehealth have become increasingly important. Researchers and clinicians have issued recommendations on providing telehealth-based care in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. However, recommendations are limited for audio only telephone-based care, which may be the only option for specific clients. This is a case study of an older adult who completed Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for military sexual trauma. Halfway through her treatment, COVID-19 resulted in transitioning from in-person services to a virtual format. Client X did not have video capabilities aside from her cell phone, and it was determined she would complete treatment via telephone-based sessions. Client X's outcome data is presented, and the reductions in her PTSD and depressive symptoms provide preliminary support suggesting that telephone-based care may be an acceptable method of receiving CPT. Recommendations for telephone-based CPT are provided.
随着技术的进步，远程医疗已成为进行心理治疗的一种可接受方式。在新冠疫情期间，远程医疗以及通过远程医疗调整治疗方式的方法变得越来越重要。研究人员和临床医生已发布了关于在应对新冠全球大流行时提供基于远程医疗的护理的建议。然而，对于仅基于音频电话的护理的建议有限，而这可能是特定客户的唯一选择。这是一个关于一位老年女性的案例研究，她完成了针对军事性创伤的认知加工疗法（CPT）。在她治疗进行到一半时，新冠疫情导致服务从面对面形式转变为虚拟形式。客户X除了手机外没有视频功能，于是确定她将通过电话会议完成治疗。展示了客户X的结果数据，她的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和抑郁症状的减轻提供了初步支持，表明基于电话的护理可能是接受CPT的一种可接受方法。还提供了基于电话的CPT的建议。
