Conference

Computer Technology and Counseling Psychology

Regression Toward the Machine?

James P. Sampson, Jr.

Florida State University

The availability of computer applications in counseling psychology has increased dramatically over the past 15 years. Many articles, books, and conference presentations have explored the use of computer technology infacilitating service delivery. Although some concern has been expressed regarding potentially inappropriate use of computer applications, minimal attention has been paid to the impact of this technology on the identity and behavior of counseling psychologists. In view of the growing body of knowledge and experience on this topic, it would seem to be an appropriate time to explore the potential impact of this technology. The current use of computer technology in counseling psychology is explored and the potential negative impact of computer technology is discussed in terms of the misuse of computer applications, dependence on technology, and restriction of the counseling process. Factors contributing to inappropriate use of technology are also discussed along with priorities for action and research.
