In the course of the pandemic triggered by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), videobased treatment (VBT) has undergone a trend reversal. It must be assumed that the abrupt switch from traditional psychotherapy to the video setting (VS) has an impact on the therapeutic relationship and thus on the therapeutic process. This study examined how the switch from traditional treatment to VBT (and back again) during the COVID-19 pandemic was experienced by
patients and therapists with respect to the therapeutic relationship and the therapeutic process.
