It should be interesting. Drifting from topic: Have you seen Basecamp? It's an online project management tool I've been reading tons of good things about. http://www.basecamphq.com/ Please contact Teri about a tool her company has developed to help charitable organizations to raise funds. She tells me it's been quite effective. I hope you give it a shot and write about your adventures. It should be interesting.

But I agree about the ultimate need for touch... it communicates root level unconditional acceptance, a very powerful therapeutic need.

What I dislike about it is the same thing I dislike about e-mail: it's only text, and therefore loses everything that the prosody and melody of the voice can communicate and everything that the body can communicate. I find that when working with plain old text, I have to keep backtracking to get the feedback I need. Perhaps the videoconference would be the better choice. I don't know. On more than one occasion, I've found that the best thing I could do was to just hold the person and let them cry. I think IM might be a decent compromise between e-mail and phone.

I've done it succesfully in a mental healths etting providing on-line coaching/counselling for recovering alcoholics via IM... sometimes it's the only way we can provide them detox aftercare.
