Abstract

Traditionally Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is delivered in a face-to-face format. However, with the rise of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services and the pressure to meet government access targets, alternative modes of delivery have been explored. This has paved the way for computerised CBT programmes which are interactive computer interfaces that allow clients to complete treatment in the comfort of their own homes. This article explores the advantages and disadvantages of these programmes; it considers their evidence-base and discusses in relation to current legislation and government strategies to improve mental health services.
