Computers and the Internet have the potential to be used to deliver psychological treatments. This article provides a selective review of applications involving little or no therapist contact, applications involving asynchronous and synchronous communication with providers, and applications that have been used as adjuncts to standard psychotherapy. Data on the efficacy of these applications most strongly support using the Internet to complete and submit behavioral assignments, to obtain social support from peers, and to receive education, feedback, and support from therapists in the form of e-mail or chatroom communications. General practice recommendations are given with an emphasis on ways to encourage use of the Internet as an information and communication tool as an adjunct to regular psychotherapy.
计算机和互联网有用于提供心理治疗的潜力。本文对涉及很少或没有治疗师接触的应用、涉及与提供者进行异步和同步通信的应用以及用作标准心理治疗辅助手段的应用进行了选择性综述。这些应用疗效的数据最有力地支持利用互联网来完成和提交行为作业、从同伴那里获得社会支持,以及通过电子邮件或聊天室通信的形式从治疗师那里获得教育、反馈和支持。给出了一般的实践建议,重点是鼓励将互联网用作信息和通信工具以辅助常规心理治疗的方法。
