Therapists' attitudes towards the use of computerized therapies have been the focus of numerous studies. Nevertheless, little is known about therapists' perception of a combined model that uses computerized methods as adjuncts to face-to-face (FTF) therapy. Current study surveyed 87 Israeli therapists' attitudes towards such combined model. Results show that more than half of therapists find it as potentially more effective than regular therapy, better for providing feedback and maintaining continuity of care. More than a third of the therapists found it may elicit better patient satisfaction and engagement. With respect to different modalities, therapists indicated that e-mail correspondence are better suited for combining with FTF treatments. Theoretical orientation had little effect on practitioners' attitudes. Finally, more than half of the therapists showed willingness to undergo training for a combined model. Compared to previously researched computerized interventions, current study indicates more positive attitudes and acceptability among therapists towards an integrative model.
治疗师对使用计算机化疗法的态度一直是众多研究的焦点。然而，对于治疗师对将计算机化方法作为面对面（FTF）治疗辅助手段的联合模式的看法却知之甚少。当前的研究调查了87名以色列治疗师对这种联合模式的态度。结果显示，超过一半的治疗师认为它可能比常规治疗更有效，更有利于提供反馈和保持护理的连续性。超过三分之一的治疗师发现它可能会带来更高的患者满意度和参与度。关于不同的方式，治疗师表示电子邮件通信更适合与FTF治疗相结合。理论取向对从业者的态度影响不大。最后，超过一半的治疗师表示愿意接受联合模式的培训。与之前研究的计算机化干预措施相比，当前的研究表明治疗师对综合模式的态度更为积极和可接受。
