Authors' objectives:
To provide guidance on the use of computerised cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety and depression.
Authors' recommendations:
Guidance: 1.1 Current research suggests that the delivery of cognitive behavioural therapy via a computer interface (CCBT) may be of value in the management of anxiety and depressive disorders. This evidence is, however, an insufficient basis on which to recommend the general introduction of this technology into the NHS.
1.2 To establish the contribution and place of CCBT in the management of anxiety and depressive disorders, including its role within stepped care approaches, the NHS should consider supporting an independent programme of research into CCBT, including carefully monitored pilot implementation projects. The research should include investigations into user preferences, suitability, needs and educational/cultural characteristics.
