Internet Interventions in Clinical Psychology

• The internet and modern information technology have influenced society and also the practice of clinical psychology. In this chapter, we describe how internet-delivered psychological assessment and treatment procedures work and provide an updated review of the evidence. Therapist-supported internet interventions, mainly derived from cognitive behavior therapy treatment protocols, have been developed and tested in a large number of controlled trials and also for a range of psychiatric and somatic problems and conditions. There are clear indications that internet interventions can be as effective as seeing a therapist face-to-face, that long-term effects can be obtained, and that it has been possible to transfer internet interventions to more regular service provision (e.g., effectiveness trials).
