- This article describes the development and empirical status of guided Internet-delivered self-help. The treatment approach combines the benefits of bibliotherapy with book-length text materials and the support given online via web pages and e-mail. Interactive features such as online registrations, tests, and online discussion forums are also included. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) guided the research and clinical implementations of this approach, as it lends itself more easily to the self-help format compared with other presently available psychotherapy approaches. We include an overview of the research, current issues and research in service delivery, lessons learned through a program of research, and directions for future investigations

- Many trials on Internet-delivered psychological treatments have had problems with nonadherence, but not much is known about the subjective reasons for non-adhering. The aim of this study was to explore participants' experiences of non-adherence to Internet-delivered psychological treatment. Grounded theory was used to analyze data from seven in-depth interviews with persons who had non-adhered to a study on Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for generalized anxiety disorder. The process of non-adherence is described as an interaction between patient factors and treatment factors. A working model theory was generated to illustrate the experience of nonadherence. The model describes a process where treatment features such as workload, text-content complexity and treatment process don't match personal prerequisites regarding daily routines, perceived language skills and treatment expectations respectively, resulting in the decision to nonadhere. Negative effects were also stated as a reason for non-adherence. Several common strategies used for increasing adherence to Internet-delivered therapy in general are by these non-completers regarded as factors directly related to their reason for non-adherence.

- Psychiatric problems such as mood and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and are associated with high societal costs and individual suffering. Evidence-based psychological treatments obtain good results but are not available to the required extent due to the lack of practitioners with adequate training. One way to solve this problem is to provide minimal-contact self-help treatments, for example, with the assistance of computers. Recently, internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral treatment has been tested in a series of controlled trials. However, the interventions come in many forms with different levels and kinds of therapist input, which have implications for the costs of the treatments and possibly their effectiveness. In this review we found evidence for a strong correlation between therapist input and outcome. While emerging evidence attests to the efficacy of internet-delivered treatment when at least minimal therapist guidance is provided, most studies in the field have not included a formal evaluation of cost-effectiveness.
