With a focus on ‘screen and team’ family therapy, we tentatively explore possible practice implications associated with family therapy moving from in-person to online delivery, with the intention of developing questions for further empirical research. By examining some of the affordances and constraints of the online medium in relation to the use of triadic questioning, we set forth a number of the epistemological and ontological consequences of this move. We argue that online therapy has particular features of a dialogical approach and method. We then examine the concept of joint action, the nature of the conversational processes, and the utterance chains that seem to be more likely to emerge when working online. We posit that a major advantage of the move to online delivery of family therapy is the medium’s particular utility for generating more invitational, collaborative, and dialogical practices.

在线家庭治疗发展的一些本体论和认识论后果及其对实践的意义

以“筛选和团队”家庭治疗为重点，我们初步探索与家庭治疗从面对面到在线交付相关的可能实践意义，目的是为进一步的实证研究提出问题。通过研究在线媒体在使用三元提问方面的一些启示和限制，我们提出了这一举措的一些认识论和本体论后果。我们认为，在线治疗具有对话方式和方法的特殊特征。然后，我们研究了联合行动的概念、对话过程的性质以及在线工作时似乎更可能出现的话语链。
