“…In each of these cases, a therapist-administered (Baer et al, 1987;Baer et al, 1988) therapy had failed to diminish some aspect of the OCD symptomatology, which prompted the use of the self-help tool in conjunction with therapy.…”

“…Various self-help tools have been used in these studies including a desktop computer program (Clark, Kirkby, Daniels, & Marks, 1998), a laptop and desktop computer (Baer, Minichiello, & Jenike, 1987;Baer, Minichiello, Jenike, & Holland, 1988), a self-help manual (Fritzler, Hecker, & Losee, 1997), a computer-driven phone system with voice activated messages in conjunction with a self-help manual (Bachofen et al, 1999;Marks et al, 1998), and self-exposure homework (Emmelkamp, Van Linden Van den Heuvell, Ruephan, & Sanderman, 1989;Marks et al, 1988).

Self‐help and minimal‐contact therapies for anxiety disorders: Is human contact necessary for therapeutic efficacy?

et al. 2003

Self-help materials, brief therapies, and treatments involving minimal therapist contact have all been proposed as effective and low-cost interventions for anxiety disorders. However, research also suggests that the therapeutic alliance is a central predictor of therapy outcome. Interestingly, amounts of therapist contact within and across "self-help" interventions vary greatly. It is therefore unclear how much therapist contact is necessary for a positive anxiety disorder treatment outcome. The present article reviews the literature on anxiety disorder treatments using self-help, self-administered, and decreased therapist-contact interventions. Treatment studies are grouped together by anxiety diagnosis as well as amount of therapist contact. It is concluded that self-administered treatments are most effective for motivated clients seeking treatment for simple phobias. Predominantly self-help therapies are efficacious for panic disorder and mixed anxiety samples. On the other hand, minimal-contact therapies have demonstrated efficacy for the greatest variety of anxiety diagnoses.

“…The same method has later been successfully used to treat other phobias such as fear of flying and glossophobia [9,25]. To date, a variety of eHealth applications have been developed for OCDs [10,11,26,27], phobias [15,16,29] and other common mental health problems such as depression [26,30,53], anxiety [54], panic disorder [12], and generalized anxiety disorder [12,28,29]. Both short and long-term positive outcomes have been reported when using these applications [12,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…One of the first eHealth applications applied in mental health care was OC-Check, which was developed in 1987 to assist OCD patients in larger reduction of OCD symptoms by reminding instructions and tracking intensity of the obsessions [10]. Later in 1998, computer-aided vicarious exposure (CAVE) program was introduced to encourage OCD patients in selfmanagement of their symptoms [24].…”

Currently, eHealth is widely used in mental health care. Most eHealth services have been developed for mental health care due to its distinctive features such as privacy, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and costefficiency.This review summarizes existing literature on the feasibility of eHealth in mental health care and discusses its pros and cons as a service delivery tool. To conduct a systematic literature search, over 11000 articles were retrieved from PubMed and Medline.The keywords used in eHealth studies are diverse: according to the two databases, eHealth and mHealth are the most common ones. To date, a variety of eHealth applications have been developed for obsessive-compulsive disorders,phobias and other common mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Both short and long-term positive outcomes have been reported when using these applications. eHealth has potential to overcome the fear of shame, guilt, and stigma, which are commonconcerns of mental health patients. However, licensing, ethical standards and guidelines for eHealth applications in mental health care is urgently needed as currently the rapid proliferation and commercialization of unproven electronic materials reduce the liability of eHealth services.

This article introduces a special issue on technological developments and applications in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. The question of why it is important to deal with such developments is raised. An overview of the individual topics and articles in the issue is given, and additional aspects are discussed. This is followed by an overview of possible advantages and disadvantages of technological developments as well as problems to be solved. Overall, the developments are still largely underresearched, but-if utilized-hold considerable promise in changing the field of clinical psychology and psychotherapy as well as training in the field.
