During the coronavirus pandemic, many behavioral health professionals providing psychotherapeutic services, including couple/marriage and family therapists (C/MFTs), quickly changed from providing in‐person services to telebehavioral health (TBH) services, with specific reliance on teleconferencing. Many therapists were thrust into telehealth with minimal or no prior telebehavioral health experience, education, or training. Although TBH services have been shown to be effective and efficient with mental health and substance abuse problems, the teaching and learning of telebehavioral competencies have generally not been included in the formal education and training received by C/MFTs. This article presents an existing interprofessional telebehavioral health competencies framework not before published in C/MFT journals. This article will also demonstrate how those competencies are applicable to the education, training, and practice of telebehavioral health by C/MFTs. Implications for educational, service, and regulatory organizations are presented.

精通远程行为健康：在夫妻和家庭治疗中应用专业间的能力

在冠状病毒大流行期间，许多提供伴侣心理治疗服务的行为健康专业人员，包括夫妻/婚姻和家庭治疗师（C / MFT），迅速从提供亲自服务转变为电话行为健康（TBH）服务，特别依赖于电话会议。许多治疗师被迫从事远程医疗，而此前很少或没有远程医疗行为的健康经验，教育或培训。尽管已经证明，TBH服务在精神健康和药物滥用问题方面是有效的，但通常在C / MFT接受的正规教育和培训中并未包括对远程行为能力的教与学。本文介绍了一个现有的跨行业远程行为健康能力框架，该框架以前未在C / MFT期刊上发表。本文还将展示这些能力如何适用于C / MFT的远程行为健康教育，培训和实践。介绍了对教育，服务和监管组织的影响。
