TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the working alliance between the therapist and the client on treatment outcome in a group and an Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (GCBT vs. ICBT) for chronic tinnitus was compared.

TL;DR: Using data from a depression Internet support group, the findings replicate previous results and find the fit of a power curve (Zipf distribution) to account for 98.6% of the variance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of an internet CBT (iCBT) program for social anxiety disorder (SAD) when delivered in routine practice through two different pathways.

TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative follow-up of a study on guided internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) for social anxiety disorder (SAD), conducted four years after treatment completion, was conducted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared therapist-guided and unguided iCBT with telephone calls and e-mail correspondence and found that therapist guidance by telephone does not appear to differ from therapist guidance with e-mails for depression, although further research featuring larger samples is necessary to draw definite conclusions.

TL;DR: Overall uptake of the intervention and adherence was high with a low time investment of therapists and the results indicate Mobile CT as an acceptable and feasible approach to both participants and therapists.

TL;DR: The results illustrate the potential of unsupported internet intervention to address the health needs of the global community as well as the potential for guided or supported interventions.

TL;DR: High adherence indicates acceptability of format and content, while symptomatic improvement suggests potential efficacy for this exposure-based internet-delivered CBT intervention in adolescents with FGID.

TL;DR: Both standard pharmacological treatment and online interventions for GAD are effective in samples with a diagnosis of GAD recruited via online methods, and the low rate of engagement for face-to-face treatment by those who opt first for a web program suggests that treatment preferences are important in help-seeking.

TL;DR: A randomized controlled trial examining the effectiveness of an online guided self-help intervention for Turkish migrants with depressive symptoms found the use of Facebook proved to be a more successful method than traditional recruitment strategies.

TL;DR: The intervention was received positively with 47.82% of participants highly satisfied with the programme, and 78.26% said they would recommend it to a friend, and participants' qualitative feedback indicated good acceptability of the online intervention.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the feasibility and effectiveness of using a mobile application for self-supervised training of auditory attention and investigated the neural underpinnings of the training procedure with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial with a sample size of 100 participants divided into blocks of thirty will be used, comparing an eight-week Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention, and an 8-week group cognitive-behavioural therapy based intervention.

TL;DR: A number of participant characteristics (e.g., current depression status, previous depression treatment seeking, education level) predicted follow-up rates, singly or in interactions and completion of earlier follow-ups was highly predictive of future completions.

TL;DR: Adherence to StudentBodies™ proved to be high across a number of trials, settings and countries, and it is likely that adherence will be distinctly lower in the general public than in research settings, and intervention effects will turn out smaller.

TL;DR: iCBT is effective in routine care and may be implemented with an automated assessment, and the use of iCBT within a stepped-care model is a cost-effective way to reduce the burden of disease caused by these common mental disorders.

TL;DR: A process evaluation showed that the intervention was conducted according to protocol and seems feasible for further implementation, and potential barriers to further implementation of the intervention include the reach of the target population, intervention adherence and the quality of the feedback.

TL;DR: The authors explored how ICBT was perceived by student therapists (n = 12) trained in guided ICBT, and the facilitators and challenges encountered by students learning ICBT were examined.

TL;DR: The DEAL Project programme provides an innovative new platform for the treatment of co-occurring depression and alcohol use problems in young people and has the potential to improve outcomes, reduce disease burden, and increase treatment uptake in this vulnerable group.

TL;DR: The development, theoretical bases, and perceived usefulness and effectiveness data for iSHIFTup.org, a skin care Internet intervention to prevent pressure ulcers in adults with SCI, are presented.
