As a predecessor of this form of curative interaction is mentioned the correspondence by means of letters between Sigmund Freud and some of his patients, but the real beginning dates from 1997 when the contact between therapist and client carried out by Internet became more than incidental. Along with the establishing of e-therapy began the scientific research on the benefits and harm done by this new form of healing. In the scientific circles there is still a debate going on regarding its effectiveness, but as always happens in such situations life turns out to be more powerful than people’s opinions about what should happen in it, and the number of end-users has begun to grow inconceivably. In the USA the number of Websites offering on-line consultations according to some data exceed 300. As a major and indisputable argument as to the lack of harmful effects from receiving on-line consultations is pointed out the fact that so far not a single American has filed a complaint in court for harmful effects brought about by this kind of therapy. At the same time the number of people who share the opinion that their personal health and emotional well-being have improved considerably, has increased. This is due to the fact that the on-line consulting has a multitude of advantages.
