Therapy via videoconferencing: a route to client empowerment?

Simpson, S., Bell, L., Knox, J., Mitchell, D.·2005·Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy

Abstract

This study examines the clinical utility of cognitive behavioural therapy delivered via videoconferencing for bulimic disorders, and factors associated with adjustment to this mode of treatment delivery. A single-case-series design was used with six participants with bulimic disorders. Most were living in remote areas in north-east Scotland or Shetland. Therapy sessions were conducted weekly at a bandwidth of ISDN 6 (384 kbytes/sec) via videoconferencing links between local community hospital sites and the eating disorders service in Aberdeen, Scotland. Almost all participants rated high levels of therapeutic alliance and satisfaction with video therapy. Some participants preferred video therapy due to feeling less self-conscious and intimidated, whereas others felt it was less personal than face-to-face sessions would be. It is proposed that video therapy may be particularly suited to the treatment of eating disorders, especially for those with high levels of shame and body-related self-consciousness and those who require greater levels of control in therapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
