当世界卫生组织宣布冠状病毒爆发为大流行时，临床医生面临着保持护理连续性的挑战。对于许多从未或很少使用过远程治疗的人来说，远程治疗成为提供服务的主要手段。西北大学家庭研究所（Family Institute at Northwestern University）针对远程治疗有效性方面令人鼓舞的发现，并认识到远程治疗在获得护理方面的优势，于2018年推出了我们的远程治疗服务。作为一个基于关系的组织，我们热衷于利用远程治疗提供的机会，将客户系统的其他成员整合到治疗中。这两年多来，我们学到了很多东西。在大流行之后，我们过渡到100%远程治疗实践，大大加快了我们的学习速度。远程治疗是一个不同的背景。有意识地管理环境的限制并利用其优势是提供高质量夫妻和家庭治疗的关键。当远程治疗偶尔作为面对面治疗的补充时，这一步往往被忽视或抵制。
When the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, clinicians were challenged to maintain continuity of care. Teletherapy became the primary means of service delivery for many who had never or only sparingly used it. The Family Institute at Northwestern University, in response to encouraging findings with respect to the effectiveness of teletherapy and recognizing advantages with respect to access to care, launched our teletherapy services in 2018. As a relationship-based organization, we were keen to exploit the opportunity that teletherapy provides to integrate additional members of the client system into the treatment. Over these two plus years, we have learned a great deal. Our learning was greatly accelerated by our transition to a 100% teletherapy practice in the wake of the pandemic. Teletherapy is a different context. Intentionally managing the context's constraints and exploiting its strengths is key to providing high-quality couple and family therapy. This step is often overlooked or resisted when teletherapy is an occasional add-on to a face-to-face practice.
