However, its implementation often brings challenges. Open dialogue (OD) has the potential to address some of these barriers. Once implemented, OD is a person-centered, non-institutional, and non-medicalized approach that promotes patients’ rights and recovery. This chapter aims to introduce the OD approach and explore its potential in a remote setting. The focus will also be on the challenges of using telehealth for OD, providing recommendations on how it can be implemented and its requirements, and sharing patients´ and professionals’ experiences of network meetings on a more flexible and adapted version of this approach.engTelehealthOpen Dialoguebook part10.4018/978-1-6684-9251-2.ch008
