Module introduction

This training module is timely and clinically relevant. International interest in computer-aided therapy is mushrooming (Ritterband et al, 2006) and the UK has pioneered policy directives to establish cCBT in routine care to help improve access to psychological therapies (NICE, 2006; DoH, 2007).

 

Learning outcomes

 

By the end of this module, we hope that you will:

 

  • understand what cCBT is, how it works, and its value as a further way of delivering psychological therapies

 

  • consider the pros and cons of cCBT compared to therapist-delivered CBT and to self-guided help using a book/manual

 

  • be aware of evidence of cCBT’s clinical and cost effectiveness 

 

  • recognise how cCBT can enhance clinical practice and be delivered within an established healthcare system.
