Title
International Society for Mental Health Online
Description
The International Society for Mental Health Online (ISMHO) was formed in 1997 to promote the understanding, use and development of online communication, information and technology for the international mental health community. ISMHO is a nonprofit organization.
ISMHO conducts all of its official business via the Internet, as our board members (and membership in general) reflects a diverse, international makeup. Most of the active discussion of the organization is conducted on the Members-only mailing list. You must be a member in order to subscribe to this list or access it extensive, multi-year archive. Virtually any topic having to do with mental health online has been discussed at some point on the list, including online therapy, the nature of online communication and behaviors, Internet addiction, and more. The list archive serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and ordinary people interested in the topic of online mental health.
ISMHO does not endorse or hold any official position about the legitimacy or usefulness of e-therapy (or online counseling). ISMHO has, however, released a set of Suggested Principles for the Online Provision of Mental Health Services in order to help provide a guide to both clients and clinicians about this new modality.
