Online psychotherapy: trailblazing digital healthcare
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 23:33 authored by Annabel McDonald, Jessica EcclesJessica Eccles, Sanaz Fallahkhair, Hugo CritchleyHugo CritchleyAdvances in digital technology have a profound impact on conventional healthcare systems. We examine the trailblazing use of online interventions to enable autonomous psychological care which can greatly enhance individual- and population-level access to services. There is strong evidence supporting online cognitive–behavioural therapy and more engaging programmes are now appearing so as to reduce user ‘attrition’. The next generation of autonomous psychotherapy programmes will implement adaptive and personalised responses, moving beyond impersonalised advice on cognitive and behavioural techniques. This will be a more authentic form of psychotherapy that integrates therapy with the actual relationship experiences of the individual user.
