- Abstract
The constant interaction between advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) and the provision of health services leads us to reflect on their potential and limitations. Digital transformation of psychological care is understood as part of the digitisation of health services, and new trends in telehealth. The shift from face-to-face health care to virtual environments due to the isolation measures of Covid 19 has made psychology professionals reconsider the challenges of adopting new modes of care based on digital tools. This article is produced as a critical review of the literature on the current state of telepsychology, considering publications on the effectiveness of telepsychological care and the adoption of emerging technologies to complement, automate or rethink the processes of therapy and counselling. Telepsychology, emerging amidst renewed interest in the future of health care and telehealth, struggles with the paradox of expanding access to mental health services alongside the exclusion of large sectors without access to connectivity. It is concluded that more research is needed on this issue, as well as a discussion to inform policies that promote a reduction in the gaps in access to ICTs along with those that already exist in access to mental health.
