Internet-Delivered CBT: Distinctive Features offers a concise overview of how internet-delivered CBT and related methods (such as smartphones) can be used as single interventions as well as part of regular CBT in the form of “blended treatments”. The book also describes different applications and adaptions of internet treatments for different target groups (young persons, adults and older adults) and cultures/languages.
The book is in the style of A-Z, which means that all stages will be described from assessment/case formulation, treatment and how clinicians can/should support the treatments, evaluations and also new findings regarding the role of tailoring treatments based on client problem profile and preferences.
The book is written for clinical psychologists, psychotherapists and also students in these fields. It is also suitable for researchers in the field of digital treatments.
