A video interview experience

This article discusses a possible use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to interact with another person remotely in a psychotherapeutic framework. We herewith present a tool specifically created for our study using the Internet. This tool is a Web site, which enables professional psychologists to conduct video interviews with their patients in a secure framework that resembles as much as possible the classical one, in order to "rehumanize" the interactions. However, specificities of such a framework have been analyzed in order to think about a methodology adapted to our use. A clinical case will present a narcissistic problem, and show us that the use of the Web site can enable the classical psychotherapeutic relationship to exist in a similar transference and countertransference process.
