Blended Psychotherapy – verzahnte Psychotherapie: Das Beste aus zwei Welten?

Abstract

Psychotherapie und Digitalisierung – zwei scheinbar unvereinbare Begriffe, die jedoch zunehmend in einem Atemzug verwendet werden. Von der „One size fits all“-Prophezeiung bis zum Untergang der Versorgung psychisch erkrankter Menschen findet eine teils hoch emotionale und oftmals wenig wissenschaftlich fundierte Diskussion statt. Verzahnte Psychotherapie kann ein Ansatz sein, der beide Welten verbindet.

Videoconferencing psychotherapy: determining acceptance, drivers and barriers of use

“…This aspect has also been highlighted in previous studies, as it facilitated the transition to VCP ( 66 ). Nonetheless, it represents a valuable complement to conventional face-to-face psychotherapy, particularly within a blended therapy model that may combine both modalities ( 19 , 88 , 89 ).…”

Mediators and mechanisms of change in internet- and mobile-based interventions for depression: A systematic review

“…Presumably the particular dynamics of Internet intervention research will take up these gaps, and apprehend to recent developments and considerations of psychotherapy research, like the tendency toward a process orientation (Hayes et al, 2019;Hayes, Hofmann, & Ciarrochi, 2020; or the expansions of transdiagnostic protocols to common mental disorders as well (Steele et al, 2018;Weisel et al, 2019). These current developments might also further contribute to the potential of IMIs to expand and augment existing mental health care services (Domhardt et al, 2019;Ebert et al, 2017), by means of scalable self-help interventions (Buntrock et al, 2016;Karyotaki et al, 2017), advanced models of stepped care ; van Straten, Hill, Richards, & Cuijpers, 2015) and blended therapy approaches (Baumeister, Grässle, Ebert, & Krämer, 2018;Domhardt, Steubl, & Baumeister, 2018;Erbe, Eichert, Riper, & Ebert, 2017), as well as by providing tailored interventions for underserved populations (Andersson et al, 2019;Domhardt, Steubl, & Baumeister, 2018). Investigations of transdiagnostic, process-based and tailored interventions in future mediation studies are of particular importance, to comprehensively assess the actual capability of IMIs to extend mental health services within different models of carefor depressive and other common mental disorders alike.…”

A systematic quality rating of available mobile health apps for borderline personality disorder

“…However, while the evidence on the effectiveness of particularly stand-alone MHAs for BPD is scarce, well developed and safe MHAs may still be beneficial if integrated into a concept of blended psychotherapy, i.e., the combination of online intervention elements with standard psychotherapeutic care [ 3 , 42 – 46 ]. Blended therapy may provide the possibility to combine both the need for and safety of interpersonal contact in the treatment of BPD and the advantages of IMIs and MHAs in particular and offers several advantages beyond that (e.g., patient empowerment, therapist support by standardized materials; [ 46 – 50 ]).…”
