Abstract
Clinical teams working with clients with psychotic disorders have turned to teletherapy to continue offering services to their clients during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, few studies have focused on the challenges of teletherapy by professionals. We conducted a brief online survey with professionals working with clients with a psychotic disorder across Canada. Qualitative analysis of open-ended questions was conducted. Around 86% of the professionals we surveyed began using teletherapy at the beginning of the pandemic. Most professionals (83%) said that they would keep using teletherapy after the end of the pandemic. Numerous advantages and challenges of teletherapy were also discussed.
