Online Therapy Isn’t Shrinking
Online therapy is dangerous, critics say. Quacks could set up shop and cheat customers. Discontents who are looking for a quick fix could score drugs with a simple mouseclick. The entire mental health industry may degenerate into a mess.
At a Capitol Hill news conference last week, a coalition of medical practitioners and patient advocates released a set of guidelines to keep that from happening before the government gets a chance to step in and do it for them. But critics say those standards might not be enough, and warn that mixing professional counseling with the Internet is a potentially risky situation that the government is not likely to ignore.
The guidelines—the eHealth Code of Ethics—aren’t revolutionary. They’re voluntary rules drawn up by the Internet Healthcare Coalition that ask the players in this field (and in the electronic health field in general) to stay the course and follow a set of standards that some sites say they were already following.
Gunny Cho, CEO of the online therapy site Here2listen, com, said his company was already adhering to the guidelines suggested in the new code. "We were taking the highest of the high moral ground," he said. Cho said most of the people who use Stanford University backed Here2listen’s fee-based, real-time chat service are looking for help with personal relationships and life’s stresses . None of them will be hooked up with drugs, he said, because Here2listen’s shrinks are there to listen, not prescribe.
Psychology-ethics expert Thomas Nagy is guarded about how his field is embracing the Internet as a clinical medium. The assistant clinical professor at Stanford Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, who maintains a private practice as a psychologist in Palo Alto, says online therapy is filled with risks. "There’s no training or research in Internet therapy, and there’s no definition of what it is," he said. He said face-terrace counseling, or at least telephonic therapy, is always superior to online therapy. " With words on a screen you have such a narrow bandwidth of emotional overtones," he said. " I would always argue for telephone consultation instead of email therapy. I think there’s so much more information available, you can at least tell something about (a patient’s) emotional tone."
Glenn Marron, a psychologist who maintains a private practice in New York and once served as consultant to the government, agreed that the industry is moving quicker than it should. "I think there’s no question that ultimately this indeed is going to be one of the main formats for mental health," she said. "The technology is far more advanced than the infrastructure and guidelines we have." [br] It can be inferred from the text that online therapy guidelines______.
选项
A、reveal the firm position of the ethics committee
B、are compulsory requirements for the therapy sites
C、will result in no radical change in the present situation
D、prevent the need for government-imposed regulation in the future
答案
C
解析
本题考查具体细节。第二、三段都围绕“在线治疗的指导原则”展开论述。第三段提到,该指导原则并非革命性的,它是自愿执行的,而且提出的一些标准是一些网站声称已经在遵守的。因此[C]正确,同时排除[A]和[B]。第二段首句提到,公布指导原则的目的是为了防止政府制定强制性规定干预此事,但无法推出将来也可以阻止政府制定规则,所以[D]错误。
