Abstrakt: The aim of this study is to explore adult outpatients' experiences with home-based psychotherapy via videoconferencing in a Danish mental health service. Participants found videoconferencing-based psychotherapy for preventive relapse sessions very useful, and they believed that it was possible to maintain a good therapeutic relationship via videoconferencing when they knew their therapist in advance. However, experiences with more in-depth psychotherapy are more unclear as some felt alienated and preferred other ways to communicate. In general, participants found videoconferencing-based psychotherapy to be less personal but worth considering when travel hassles outweigh the need for meeting in person.
