This study describes the transition of two university marriage and family therapy (i.e., master's and doctoral) training clinics to teletherapy and presents preliminary analyses of the types of clients and cases that converted to teletherapy. A series of chi-square analyses, a t-test, a logistic regression model, and a multiple linear regression model were employed. Four key findings emerged: (1) most cases converted to teletherapy; (2) Hispanic ethnicity was the only demographic characteristic to significantly predict conversion to teletherapy; (3) individual cases were significantly more likely to convert to teletherapy than relational cases; and (4) the number of prior in-person sessions attended significantly predicted conversion to teletherapy. Teletherapy conversion implications are discussed across four systemic levels: client, student trainee, supervision, and larger systems.Pages 320-34122 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightCOVID-19marriage and family therapyMFT programsrelational therapystudentssupervisionteletherapytherapytraineestraining settingsAttitude of Health PersonnelCOVID-19Couples TherapyFamily TherapyFemaleHumansMalePhysical TherapistsRemote ConsultationSurveys and QuestionnairesTelemedicineTelerehabilitationArticle - Refereed2021-06-24https://doi.org/10.1111/jmft.12502472Russon, Jody [0000-0002-5629-2626]Dolbin-MacNab, Megan [0000-0003-0877-023X]Jackson, Jeffrey [0000-0002-9756-7841]33742728 (pubmed)1752-0606
