Internettherapie: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen
Abstract
Internet therapy is directed toward people whose access to the usual treatment structures is limited. Further, Internet therapy is aimed at patients with circumscribed psychiatric disorders or symptoms. Compared to usual face-to-face treatment the duration of the Internet therapy programs evaluated were rather short, and frequently only small populations were examined. The studies presented demonstrate that Internet-based therapy of specific disorders is suitable for a significant reduction of symptoms. As follow-up data of longer duration are not available, no concluding statement relating to sustained symptom reduction can be made. Further, it remains unclear whether efficacy of the Internet therapy programs examined is comparable to usual treatment, since only two studies compare Internet therapy with face-to-face treatment.

Several barriers impede the provision of psychological treatment to older adults, some of which can be overcome by internet-based interventions, such as mobility limitations or stigma.
“Several barriers have been identified to impede the provision of psychological treatment to this population, some of which can be overcome by internet-based interventions, such as mobility limitations (Kersting et al., 2009) or stigma (e.g., Cuijpers et al. 2008).”

Digital approaches offer anonymity, which can help individuals take up treatment who would otherwise refuse due to concerns about stigmatization or feelings of shame.
“Compared to face-to-face interventions, such digital approaches offer anonymity, which can help individuals to take up a respective treatment, who would otherwise maybe refuse to do so, e.g. due to concerns about stigmatization or feelings of shame [14, 15].”

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.
