Technology plays an increasingly important role in mental health care. The use of eHealth, mHealth, mobile sensing, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence holds important promises to bring mental health care closer to the everyday life of clients, but it remains a challenge to integrate them into clinical practice.

This challenge requires close collaboration between research, teaching, and clinical practice. First, there are a need for developing theories and (design) methodologies to connect clinical psychology, technology, and human goals and values related to well-being, empathy, and compassion. Second, this concerns the development, evaluation, and implementation of technologies to support psychologists and clients in therapeutic processes. Third, this asks questions about how to educate psychologists of the future, who are willing and able to innovative integrative technologies in their everyday practice and contribute to innovation processes in psychotherapeutic treatments and the organization of therapy.
