Subject: [DIVOFFICERS] Telepsychology Task Force requesting input
Division Officers: I am forwarding the following e-mail for distribution. Thank you. Joan Freund.
Earlier this year, the American Psychological Association (APA), the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB), and the American Psychological Association Insurance Trust (APAIT) joined together to create the APA/ASPPB/APAIT Telepsychology Task Force. The Task Force, comprised of members from the three sponsoring groups, is charged with developing telepsychology guidelines that will provide direction to psychologists as they navigate the numerous ethical, regulatory, legal and practice issues that arise in the use of technology in the delivery of psychological services.
This e-mail is sent on behalf of the co-chairs of the Task Force, seeking your input on issues you believe the Task Force should consider in developing guidelines. The questionnaire for providing input is at the following link: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/561430/telepsychology. Each individual providing input will have the opportunity to identify up to six (6) issues they believe the Task Force should address at this time.
Input received through the questionnaire will be reviewed by Task Force members as they meet in the next year to discuss and develop telepsychology guidelines. The Task Force looks forward to reviewing the input that will be received throughout the year, however, to ensure that your input is reviewed by the Task Force in the initial development of the guidelines, please provide feedback by July 6th.
Sincerely,
Linda Campbell, PhD (Co-Chair)
Fred Millán, PhD (Co-Chair)
