Stodolsky, D. (1970). The Computer as a Psychotherapist. International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 2, 327-350.
Abstract: The shortage of therapists/researchers in the area of psychopathology is examined, and the use of a computer-standard environment system as a possible solution to this shortage and many other problems associated with both research and treatment are considered. Current applications of the computer and other automatic devices in psychotherapy are reviewed, including work with autistic children, phobics and juvenile delinquents. A unified assessment-treatment approach is discussed in the context of a computer-standard environment system considering limitations imposed by the current technology. (Journal abstract.). *.
