Abstract
Although telephone therapy has been generally employed by therapists and patients for many years, there has been little examination of its use compared to other remote therapies. When COVID-19 required remote therapy only, a number of patients chose to continue therapy via voice-only and without a visual component. This paper describes how voice-only therapy in the experience of one patient profoundly affected the treatment and outcome of a long-term therapeutic interaction. For this patient, her lifelong fear of being looked at or being seen at all emerged in our work, and we were able to uncover the history of her severe agoraphobic and traumatic reactions to being looked at by others.
期刊介绍：
Psychoanalytic Social Work provides social work clinicians and clinical educators with highly informative and stimulating articles relevant to the practice of psychoanalytic social work with the individual client. Although a variety of social work publications now exist, none focus exclusively on the important clinical themes and dilemmas that occur in a psychoanalytic social work practice. Existing clinical publications in social work have tended to dilute or diminish the significance or the scope of psychoanalytic practice in various ways. Some social work journals focus partially on clinical practice and characteristically provide an equal, if not greater, emphasis upon social welfare policy and macropractice concerns.
