sounds like therapists might eventually go the way the way of the typewriter...
"We have just released the iPhone version of the self-monitoring tool in Canada. In the very near future other versions will be released for iPad, Android devices and two versions that will work on BlackBerrys.
The app can be used as a stand-alone adjunct to support a process of change but we believe is best used in conjunction with our self-help program. Our plan for Ontario also includes the launch of a discussion board for social support, the addition of automated motivational enhancement communications to registrants and down the road we plan on offering eTherapy.
We are exploring the possibility of developing a version of our tools that could be customized (translated and culturally adapted as needed) and licensed to any jurisdiction in the world ".
