Abstract

<p>As part of the discussion on sustainable development goals (SDGs) concerning health at the United Nations Summit, the objective is to ensure a healthy lifestyle and promote welfare for people of all ages. Tele-cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can be effective for promoting the idea that “no one is left behind,” which is emphasized in SDGs. Tele-CBT is a means of enabling the provision of CBT, particularly when it is difficult to receive face-to-face CBT owing to outbreaks of infectious diseases or a shortage of therapists. However, mainstreaming tele-CBT may result in certain people being excluded from the scope of psychotherapy provision, and hence being “left behind.” In this paper, we examine cases wherein tele-CBT was difficult to conduct, and the therapy’s effect considering three viewpoints: (1) the digital divide, (2) the client’s pathology and disability, and (3) the emergency response. By recognizing the role and limitations of tele-CBT, the importance of providing psychological support is highlighted to ensure that “no one is left behind.”</p>
