Internet-based treatments - Experiences from Sweden
Open accessAbstract
Worldwide, Gerhard Andersson is one of the most influential researchers working on internet-based psychological treatments. Moreover, he is also one of the leading researchers in the field of psychologically oriented tinnitus research. He is full professor of clinical psychology at Linköping University and affiliated professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Section Psychiatry. Professor Andersson has been highly productive, having produced more the 300 scientific papers. During his whole career he has worked part-time with patients. Apart from his own research and clinical work, Professor Andersson has editorial responsibilities for several journals including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Plos One, BMC Psychiatry, and Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. The interview was conducted by Professor Thomas Berger.

TL;DR
This interview-style article reviews Sweden’s early role in internet-delivered psychological treatments, especially therapist-supported text-based CBT, and discusses implementation, patient and therapist attitudes, and future directions. It argues that internet treatments are established for several conditions but remain unevenly integrated into routine care and need more research on predictors, blended care, and underserved groups.
Key findings
- Sweden was an early adopter: internet treatment for severe tinnitus began in Uppsala in 1999, and a controlled trial of internet-delivered CBT for recurrent headache was conducted around 2000.
- Implementation in regular Swedish healthcare is limited: tinnitus treatment has been implemented in one specialist setting, and anxiety/depression treatment operates through the Internet Psychiatry Unit at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; other efforts are scattered local projects, and the interviewee could not provide figures on how many patients actually receive internet treatment.
- Internet delivery has expanded beyond CBT: psychodynamic internet treatment has been studied for depression and anxiety, and ACT has been tested for pain, tinnitus, and depression; attention bias modification for social anxiety was disappointing.
- Patient preferences are mixed: in a social anxiety trial patients preferred internet treatment over group treatment, while an earlier panic disorder study found the opposite; the interviewee notes patients may change preferences after experiencing benefit.
Methods
- The piece is an interview with Professor Gerhard Andersson, conducted by Professor Thomas Berger, published in Verhaltenstherapie.
- It presents Andersson’s clinical and research experiences, references selected trials and reviews, and discusses dissemination, implementation, attitudes, and open questions.
- No formal sample, systematic search, or quantitative analysis is reported; the article is a narrative expert interview rather than an empirical study.
Limitations
- The interviewee states that there are very few robust predictors of outcome, that he lacks good answers about who benefits or who has contraindications, and that he cannot give figures on patient access to internet treatment in Sweden.
- He also notes few studies on older people, adolescents, and children, and says more research is needed on integrating internet interventions into practice.
- Evident from the text: the article is an interview/opinion piece, so its claims rely on expert experience and selected citations rather than a systematic review or controlled comparison.

In a recent comparative trial on social anxiety disorder, patients preferred internet treatment over group treatment.

The Discussion says internet treatment may be preferred over group treatment, but explicitly states that this had not yet been studied. The trial therefore did not find that patients preferred internet treatment. (LLM, conf=0.90)

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.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-11.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-11.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
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.
