Despite obvious and documented advantages of technological applications in education, psychotherapy training based on information technology is either still rare or limited to technical innovations such as videotape recordings. This article outlines opportunities new computer‐based learning technology create for psychotherapy training. First, approaches that include computer‐mediated communication between trainees and teachers/supervisors are presented. Then, computer‐based learning technology for self‐study purposes is discussed in the context of educational approaches to learning. Computer‐based tools that have been developed and evaluated in the context of psychotherapy training are described. Evaluations of the tools are discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
