Authors' objectives:
The overall aim of the review was to assess the clinical effectiveness of computerised cognitive behaviour therapy (CCBT) for treating anxiety, depression and phobias and to compare the cost-effectiveness of CCBT with cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) by conventional methods and with treatment as usual (TAU).
Authors' recommendations:
There is limited evidence of poor-to-moderate quality that CCBT may be effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety and phobias. The evidence for CCBT is uncertain as the studies varied widely in setting, patient populations, comparators and outcome measures. Further research is needed in order to answer the many questions surrounding the design and implementation of CCBT programmes.
