Course Description: Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, but studies comparing the effectiveness of therapist-guided versus self-directed ICBT have yielded inconsistent results, and few studies have examined which approach  patients prefer. The present study examined patient preferences among versions of an 8-week ICBT program that were either standard (i.e., therapist-guided) or optional (i.e., self-guided, with the option of contacting the therapist). Also examined were changes in patients' anxiety and depression following treatment. The researchers found that almost four times as many patients preferred standard ICBT as compared to the optional version, but that patients in each group showed similar completion rates, as well as comparable reductions in symptoms of anxiety and depression following treatment. In addition, patients who chose the optional program exchanged fewer messages and phone calls with their therapists than patients who chose the standard program. The results highlight the need to consider patient preferences in the level of support that accompanies ICBT. The results also suggest that self-guided ICBT can be an effective alternative to therapist-guided ICBT.
