Teleassessment in Psychological Practice: Opportunities, Challenges and Critical Considerations

Giuseppe Manuel Festa

Abstract

Teleassessment has taken on an increasingly important role in psychological practice, representing an innovative methodology that leverages digital technologies and remote communication tools (videoconferencing, online platforms, dedicated software, etc.) for clinical evaluation and the administration of psychodiagnostic tests remotely. This approach allows for overcoming geographical and logistical barriers, improving accessibility to psychological services and offering greater flexibility to both professionals and users. However, teleassessment also presents numerous challenges, including technological issues, methodological limitations, clinical difficulties, and ethical concerns related to privacy and data security. The present work aims to provide an overview of this methodology, highlighting its main advantages, the remaining limitations to be addressed, and ethical implications that require attention. Additionally, operational guidelines for the correct and responsible use of teleassessment are presented, emphasizing the importance of specific training and empirical validation of tools to ensure the quality and reliability of remote assessments. Finally, future prospects offered by the evolution of immersive technologies are discussed, which could further revolutionize psychological clinical practice.
