GALAN JIMENEZ, Jaime Sebastián F.; RODRIGUEZ HERNANDEZ, Blanca Araceli  y  LEON POSADAS, Eva María de. A digital Gesell chamber: adjustments for professional practices in social isolation. Apert. (Guadalaj., Jal.) [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.2, pp.70-87.  Epub 14-Feb-2022. ISSN 2007-1094.  https://doi.org/10.32870/ap.v13n2.2026.

The aim of this study was to show the migration process, due to the covid-19 pandemic, of the psychotherapist training program provided by a psychological care center from a real Gesell chamber to a digital version. The method used was action-research with self-study from the practitioners and supervisor whom reported their experiences with this new mode of working. An informed consent was given to students and participants explaining the implications of the process and its limitations, as well as the intention to publish findings. As results: the digital Gesell chamber presented some technical difficulties; however, it was a useful and ethical response to continue with the training program, with broad benefit for users. What is more, it presented communication advantages that allowed the reflective group to intervene without interruption. In conclusion: the use of the digital chamber was an alternative that eased the supervision of practitioners as well as the optimal performance of psychological care during social isolation.
