| description | In Argentina, social isolation to reduce the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has had an impact on the practice of psychotherapy. Objective: To describe factors associated with the use of communication technologies in psychotherapy during social isolation. Procedure: An online survey was conducted among professionals, totaling a sample of 978 cases. Results: 77.7% of the participants started using online psychotherapy for the first time at the beginning of social isolation; 62.6% of the participants treated half or more of their patients online. Significant relationships were detected between online psychotherapy and various factors that characterize psychotherapeutic practice, but these are weak effects. The use of online psychotherapy is associated with treatment interruption and modifications in the level of income. Conclusions: Drastic changes in psychotherapeutic practice during social isolation need to be studied in depth. |

En Argentina, el aislamiento social para reducir la propagación del coronavirus (COVID-19) produjo un impacto sobre la práctica de la psicoterapia. Objetivo: Describir factores asociados con el uso de tecnologías de la comunicación en la psicoterapia durante el aislamiento social. Procedimiento: Se realizó una encuesta en línea entre profesionales, totalizando una muestra de 978 casos. Resultados: 77.7% de los encuestados utilizaron atención no-presencial por primera vez a partir del inicio del aislamiento social; 62.6% atienden la mitad o más de sus pacientes en modalidad no-presencial. Se detectaron relaciones significativas entre uso de la psicoterapia no-presencial y diversos factores que caracterizan la práctica psicoterapéutica, pero se trata de efectos débiles. El uso de la atención no-presencial está asociado con interrupciones del tratamiento y modificaciones en el nivel de ingresos. Conclusiones: Los cambios drásticos en la prática psicoterapéutica durante el aislamiento social requieren ser estudiados en profundidad.
