Abstract

A surge in the development of computer-assisted cognitive-behavioral therapy (CCBT) and mobile apps for depression has provided many tools with potential for enhancing treatment delivery. This article assesses progress in evaluation and implementation of CCBT and mobile apps for depression, with a focus on providing practical information on clinical applications. Advantage and disadvantages of these technologies are identified, outcome research is reviewed, and recommendations are made for clinical use. With increasing use of computer technology in everyday life, it is likely that clinicians and patients will pursue opportunities to employ computer tools in treatment for depression.
