This Wednesday, November 13th 12-1pm PT we're delighted to welcome our very own Tech Hub visiting scholar and licensed psychodynamic psychotherapist, Friederike Fenski, to present on her blended care approach to psychotherapy. Friederike will offer a comprehensive overview of the participatory development process behind a novel therapeutic online intervention (TONI) designed for outpatient psychotherapy in Germany. TONI is a comprehensive digital toolkit that includes twelve transdiagnostic and transtheoretical modules (like mindfulness, communication and understanding of emotions) as well as a range of self-monitoring tools. Psychotherapists that use TONI can individualize blended care by selecting and ordering specific modules or chapters and by implementing TONI flexibly into the therapy process.
