A virtual therapeutic team (or VTT) is a group of qualified or experienced therapists who are geographically and organizationally dispersed but united by a common purpose. A VTT is maintained and coordinated through the use of communication technology. The VTT model was first developed by NCH a British children's charity, to provide flexible, specialist support for its services working with children who can not live with their birth families.
Famous quotes containing the words virtual, therapeutic and/or team:
“Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.... He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“As a science of the unconscious it is a therapeutic method, in the grand style, a method overarching the individual case. Call this, if you choose, a poet’s utopia.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
