Psychotherapy Clients’ Online Behavior and Opinions Regarding Internet Searches Conducted by Therapists
Quote:

Second, DiLillo and Gale (2011) collected data from a national sample of 854 graduate student trainees in clinical psychology. The main purpose of this study was to assess how many graduate students used the Internet (search engines and social networking websites) to obtain information about psychotherapy clients online. [...] Of graduate students currently seeing psychotherapy clients, 97.8% reported searching for at least one client using search engines in the past year while 94.4 % reported searching on social networking websites. Further, the majority of these clients (82.1% of clients searched on search engines and 82.5% of clients searched on social networking websites) were unaware of the therapist’s attempts to search for them online.
