The promise and pitfalls of the internet for cognitive behavioral therapy
Overview
This paper discusses the potential of internet-administered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a method for disseminating treatment and tailoring interventions to individual needs. It notes that while studies show comparable effectiveness to face-to-face CBT, patient support—whether from clinicians or non-clinicians—is crucial for achieving significant outcomes. The author highlights the need to address patient skepticism regarding remote delivery and warns against over-reliance on digital formats at the expense of clinical skills.
