Download or read book The Development and Preliminary Evaluation of an Internet Based Self help Intervention for Social Anxiety Disorder with Videoconferencing Therapist Support written by Marina Gershkovich and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders in the United States. Although evidenced-based behavioral treatments are available, less than 20% of those with SAD receive treatment (Grant et al., 2005). The disparity between the number of individuals affected and those obtaining treatment is due to a number of factors, including limited accessibility to therapists practicing evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavior therapy, geographic factors, and financial cost. Internet-based interventions may be utilized to overcome some of these barriers. Guided Internet-based therapeutic interventions have been demonstrated to be effective for social anxiety (e.g., Andersson et al., 2006). The optimal role (if any) of the therapist in such programs, including the amount of therapist time necessary for effective treatment, remains unclear. The purpose of this pilot study was to develop a novel Internet self-help CBT intervention and to assess the preliminary efficacy and acceptability of the program with minimal therapist support delivered through a common videoconferencing platform, for the treatment of SAD in adults. The intervention program is derived from an acceptance-based CBT program that utilizes traditional behavioral interventions (e.g., exposure) within the context of a model emphasizing mindfulness and psychological acceptance. Thirteen participants received the Internet-based self-help intervention consisting of eight weekly modules, and a brief weekly videoconferencing therapist check-in. Participants were assessed at pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and post-treatment on both outcome and process measures. Participants rated the treatment program as highly acceptable. The results indicate that participants experienced a significant reduction in SAD symptoms and improvements in functioning and quality of life. Implications and future directions are discussed.

Book excerpt: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders in United States. Although evidenced-based behavioral treatments are available, less than 20% of those with SAD receive treatment (Grant et al., 2005). The disparity between the number of individuals affected and those obtaining treatment is due to a number of factors, including limited accessibility to therapists practicing evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavior therapy, geographic factors, and financial cost.

The optimal role (if any) of the therapist in such programs, including the amount of therapist time necessary for effective treatment, remains unclear. The purpose of the current study was to assess the acceptability and efficacy of a novel Internet-based self-help CBT intervention for the treatment of SAD in adults, and to assess the additive role of minimal therapist support delivered through the videoconferencing platform VSee and text messaging on treatment outcome. The intervention program was derived from an acceptance-based CBT that utilizes traditional behavioral interventions (e.g., exposure) within the context of a model emphasizing mindfulness and psychological acceptance. Forty-two participants were randomized to two groups: An Internet self-help intervention only (n = 22) versus an Internet self-help intervention with therapist support (n = 20). Both groups received the Internet program consisting of eight weekly modules. The therapist support group also received weekly 10-15 minute therapist support delivered through VSee and daily text-messages. Participants were assessed pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and post-treatment on both outcome and process measures. Participants in both conditions rated the program as highly acceptable; therapists in the support condition rated the program as feasible. Both groups experienced a significant reduction in SAD symptoms and improvements in functioning and quality of life. There was no significant difference in symptom reduction or quality of life measures between groups in both completer-only and intent-to-treat analyses. However, the therapist-support group evidenced lower attrition than the minimal support group (20% vs. 50%). Implications for dissemination and future directions are discussed.

Download or read book Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Obsessive compulsive Disorder written by Victoria Bream and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be a very disabling and distressing problem. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been shown to be very effective in helping people to overcome OCD. However, OCD is a highly heterogeneous disorder, often complicated by contextual factors, and therapists are often left wondering how to apply their knowledge of treatment to the particular problems as they face them in clinical practice. This book provides the reader with an understanding of the background to and principles of using CBT for OCD in a clear practical 'how to' style. It also elucidates the particular challenges and solutions in applying CBT for OCD using illustrative case material and guidance on formulation-driven intervention. The book also addresses commonly occurring complexities in the treatment of OCD, for example working with comorbidity, perfectionism, shame and family involvement in symptoms. Throughout the book, the authors provide tips on receiving and giving supervision to trouble-shoot commonly encountered problems, resulting in a guide that can help clinicians at all levels of experience.
Download or read book Hands on Help written by Isaac M. Marks and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hands-on Help is a narrative review of the mushrooming field of computer-aided psychotherapy for mental health problems as a whole, from the time it began in the 1960’s through to the present day. The many types of computer-aided psychotherapy and how each might be accessed are detailed together with the pros and cons of such help and the functions it can serve. The authors review prevention as well as treatment. The book describes and summarizes 97 computer-aided self-help systems in 175 studies according to the types of problem they aim to alleviate. These include phobic, panic, obsessive-compulsive and post-traumatic disorders, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sexual problems, smoking, alcohol and drug misuse, schizophrenia, insomnia, pain and tinnitus distress, and childhood problems such as encopresis, autism and asthma. Within each type of problem the systems are described according to whether they are used on the internet, CD-ROM, phone, handheld or other device. The final chapter shows how internet self-help systems with phone or email support allow clinics to become more virtual than physical. It also discusses methods of screening suitability and of supporting users, constraints to delivery, uptake and completion, cost-effectiveness, and the place of computer-aided self-help in healthcare provision. This informative book will be essential reading for psychiatrists, psychologists and all other mental health professionals interested in broadening their understanding of computer-aided psychotherapy.
