摘要：Online psychotherapy was recognized by the Federal Council of Psychology Resolution n. 11/2018. With the official recognition of this practice, many professionals raised questions about its equivalence to face-to-face psychotherapy and the possible need of technical adaptations. Considering the lack of research on this theme, this study aimed to explore how psychodynamic/psychoanalytical psychotherapists perceive their own practice in online settings, including technical and relational aspects of the therapeutic process, in comparison to their experience in face-to-face treatments. This is a qualitative study with an exploratory approach. Eight psychologists responded to videoconference interviews. The interviews were audiotaped, fully transcribed, and analyzed by thematic analysis. Results were organized in two major themes (online psychotherapy practice and technique and psychodynamic process in online psychotherapy). Main results indicate online psychodynamic psychotherapy has many distinctive features (e.g. relying on quality of internet connection, fostering focal process, occurring in a more vulnerable setting, and eliciting a different pattern of communication) that require adaptation from therapist. Implication of findings to psychotherapy training and practice are discussed.
