The time is ripe to focus on early field reports from practitioners who are using distance methodologies in career counseling. The focus is the actual establishment of a working alliance or counseling relationship through the use of technology and then the continuation of the counseling work using technology-assisted methodologies such as synchronous/asynchronous e-mail, telecounseling and videoconferencing. This digest focuses on initial research as well as reports from actual distance career counseling practitioners and clients. It examines counseling techniques and interventions that work effectively, and briefly addresses the importance of training and supervision for distance career counselors. (GCP)
