I perceive that Skype is generally indicated as a second-order kind of therapy, to be practiced only when body-to-body therapy is not possible.
Even conceded this, I think that in some instances a bond through Skype is better than nothing, and in particular that in some instances the bond could be evaluated as more important than suggesting clients to find a new therapist in the place where the client moved.
This evidently implies the persistence of the (already established?) bond through Skype, and some capacity of the medium to channel human bonds.
Any literature/ideas?
generalize the search. first of all, consider online or internet in the place of skype: online counselling for example.
secondly, there may be literature on bond forming (or some related term) within online shopping, online customer support etc.
This is very helpful Jonas. Thanks for your generosity. I have to re-read and carefully check the papers you listed.
From the kind of papers you're quoting, it sounds that there isn't that much research on the topic, but I could be wrong.
