In this article I propose a 5 dimension model of psychotherapies conducted in cyberspace, including psychotherapy on the internet, local networks, and stand-alone computers. The 5 dimensional features used to classify psychotherapies are:

synchronous/asynchronous
text/sensory
imaginary/actual
automated/interpersonal
invisible/present

"Cybertherapy" is based on the qualities of the communication pathway between client and therapist. By combining and sequencing the dimensional features, cybertherapy can be designed to match the unique needs of each client.
