The authors are involved in an ongoing trial comparing the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy for patients with bulimia nervosa delivered via telemedicine versus delivered via an on‐site therapist. The overall purpose of the study is to see if psychotherapy can be delivered effectively via telemedicine, and if such administration is acceptable to patients. This trial evolved out of growing concerns that manual‐based psychotherapies for various psychiatric conditions are not widely available, particularly to people in rural areas. Some of the practical aspects of delivering psychotherapy via telemedicine are discussed.
