The past thirty years have seen a great evolution in technological and communication therapy modalities. This evolution has gone through various stages (from psychotherapies 1.0 to 5.0) which we will describe alongside several significant theoretical and technical changes. These changes enrich the resources that are available while presenting us with new challenges in group psychotherapies. We are able to imagine the future of online group psychotherapies 4.0 and 5.0 respectively. We will analyse four main features of the frameworks, theories and techniques of online interventions and psychotherapies: Interactivity, synchronicity, multimodality and hybridization (person-machine). Also, their previous implementations, psychotherapies (2.0.), and current (3.0), short-term (4.0) and long-term (5.0). Digitalization is a new process that requires adaptations of our practice in the field of mental health so that we are able to meet today’s growing needs and, looking forward to the exceptional requirements stemming from the pandemic. Future transformations in mental health interventions, in the treatment of individuals, groups, children and adolescents and in the training processes in the field of group psychotherapy, form one of the most important challenges of this century.
