Dr. Grus describes some of the more common types of technology-based tools available to mental health providers and how they are developed with a focus on how to ethically incorporate their use in clinical practice.

Avgi Saketopoulou, PsyD, talks about clinicians working with overwhelm as both a challenge and an art form: it requires therapists, to make themselves permeable to patients in ways that make therapists exquisitely vulnerable.
