Internet-supported versus face-to-face cognitive behavior therapy for depression
Abstract
Major depression and depressive symptoms are highly prevalent and there is a need for different forms of psychological treatments that can be delivered from a distance at a low cost. In the present review the authors contrast face-to-face and Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) for depression. A total of five studies are reviewed in which guided ICBT was directly compared against face-to-face CBT. Meta-analytic summary statistics were calculated for the five studies involving a total of 429 participants. The average effect size difference was Hedge's g = 0.12 (95% CI: -0.06-0.30) in the direction of favoring guided ICBT. The small difference in effect has no implication for clinical practice. The overall empirical status of clinician-guided ICBT for depression is commented on and future challenges are highlighted. Among these are developing treatments for patients with more severe and long-standing depression and for children, adolescents and the elderly. Also, there is a need to investigate mechanisms of change.

Preliminary evidence for blended care therapy models suggests that they can produce comparable or significantly better clinical outcomes in fewer live therapy sessions, relative to face-to-face psychotherapy.
“Preliminary evidence for blended care therapy models suggests that they can produce comparable or significantly better clinical outcomes in fewer live therapy sessions, relative to face-to-face psychotherapy [16,17].”
Guided DMH interventions do as well as active treatment control groups, including face-to-face CBT, for anxiety and depression.
“Other studies also suggest that guided DMH interventions do as well as active treatment control groups (ie, face-to-face CBT) for anxiety [16] and depression [13].”

“Moreover, most studies have been conducted in Europe and Australia, but increasingly ICBT is being adapted for other non-western cultures.[36] Future research in the upcoming 5 years could focus on severe depression and/or more chronic forms of depression such as dysthymia.”

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.
