Hi, everyone!

At the University of South Florida, we are conducting a study that we think will be very influential when it is completed.  The study examines the quality and level of empathy in answers to online psychotherapy-related questions, as well as how psychotherapy experts rate the quality and level of empathy in those answers.  

Study participants must be licensed for at least one full year in a mental health profession, and they must have at least one year of experience (whether now or in the past) supervising interns/associates pursuing licensure or supervising graduate-level students in a mental health profession.  

Participation involves completing an online survey that will take approximately 2.5 hours.  While it is recommended that the survey be completed in one sitting, it can be completed in chunks, so long as the participant uses the same device and browser to pick up where they left off. Also, the survey would need to be completed within one week.  

If you’re interested, please email me at alnorto2@usf.edu, and I’ll send you the informed consent document for your review and consideration.
