TORRES ESCOBAR, Germán Andrés  e  PARRA, Laura Stella. VIRTUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING IN THE COLOMBIAN UNIVERSITY: BEYOND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. Investig. andina [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.38, pp.113-124.  Epub 30-Mar-2019. ISSN 0124-8146.

The psychological counseling service offered by university welfare to virtual educational programs in Colombia, has focused mainly on detecting students with low academic performance and risk of dropping out, leaving aside the psychological problems of students such as academic anxiety, emotional strain caused by working and studying, as well as the prevention of situations of crisis, which could eventually arise. From this perspective, this article proposes a reflection on the new challenges faced by psychologist working in the virtual psychological counseling of the universities, and their need to be trained to use virtual platforms and the importance of an ethical regulation of their professional performance in accordance with the provisions of the American Psychological Association, the Canadian Psychological Association and the New Zealand Psychologists Board.
