“…In one study, Internet-based CBT has been found to be effective in the treatment of subthreshold depression in older adults [ 9 ]. This study showed that Internet-based CBT had large effects on depressive symptomatology in older adults, and was as effective as a preventive group intervention.…”

“…The group format is often used, but in recent years, the Internet is used more and more in psychoeducational interventions, including the CWD for older adults [ 9 ]. The psychoeducational approach implies that the therapist works more in the role of an instructor or coach instead of a therapist, and the patient is more a student than a traditional patient.…”

Although most progress in the fi eld of indicated and other types of prevention of mental disorders has been made in children and adolescents, recent years have also seen a considerable progress of research among older adults. This research has resulted in a growing body of knowledge on how to identify those with the highest risk of developing a mental disorder, several preventive interventions, and some randomized controlled trials showing that (indicated) prevention may be possible and effective in older adults.

“…Only in a few studies a maximum age of 75 or 80 years has been used (f.i. Proudfoot et al, 2004;Spek et al, 2007). Knowing that at least part of the current people aged 75 years or older can already be reached via the Internet for teaching psychological techniques is important for clinical practice.…”

Background:The number of people with dementia is increasing rapidly. Providing care to a relative or friend with dementia may lead to serious mental health problems. Internet interventions may offer opportunities to improve the availability and accessibility of (cost)effective interventions to reduce family caregivers' psychological distress. This study describes the acceptability of a guided self-help Internet intervention "mastery over dementia" (MoD), aimed at reducing caregivers' psychological distress, in terms of reach, adherence and user evaluation.

“…Other interventions too deviated from the standard CBT content, for example, problem-solving therapy (PST; van Straten, Cuijpers, & Smits, 2008), a structured writing intervention (SWI; Kraaij et al, 2010), a combination of face-to-face (F:F) and cognitive therapy (Wright et al, 2005), or mindfulness activities with standard CBT elements delivered in group format online (Thompson et al, 2010). Andersson et al (2005) included modules on behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, sleep and physical health, and relapse prevention, a version of the program was also employed by .…”

The aim of the paper was to systematically review the literature on computer-based psychological treatments for depression and conduct a meta-analysis of the RCT studies, including examining variables which may effect outcomes. Database and hand searches were made using specific search terms and inclusion criteria. The review included a total of 40 studies (45 published papers), and 19 RCTs (23 published papers)were included in a standard meta-analysis. The review describes the different computer- research is required to determine the best type, frequency, and duration of human support for users (Marks, Cavanagh, & Gega, 2007). Secondly, dropout is a continued cause of concern, with only just over half completing all sessions (Waller & Gilbody, 2009). Whether support predicts dropout is of importance, but has yet to be determined.The current systematic review and meta-analysis sought to evaluate the overall effectiveness of computer-based treatments for depression, as well as examining the impact of support on dropout rates and clinical outcomes. A number of other reviews and meta-analysis exist to date (Andersson & Cuijpers, 2009; Barak, Hen, BonielNissim, & Shapira, 2008; Spek, Cuijpers et al., 2007).This paper aimed to provide a systematic update to this previous work and to use meta- All results were assessed at either title, abstract, or by reading the full paper to determine whether the study met the established inclusion criteria. Included studies could be deployed using a variety of different computer-based technologies, synchronously and asynchronously, they could be solely self-administered or therapistled; or a blended delivery using both. Study participants had to be adults (18+ years) with depression (self-report or diagnosis), established using valid and reliable measures, whom may also have had comorbidity, e.g. anxiety or physical health problems. Studies included were published in peer-reviewed journals in English in the last 10 years, which investigated a computer-based treatment for depression, and included reliable and valid A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPTCOMPUTER-BASED PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENTS FOR DEPRESSION 5 outcome measures for assessing depression. Participants could be from the general population or a clinical group so long as depression was specifically measured.Preliminary research into recent developments in computerized paradigms for depression such as cognitive bias modification (CBM) based interventions were not considered for inclusion (e.g. Blackwell & Holmes, 2010).Duplicates were rejected and studies were assessed by the first author, any difficulties discussed with the second author, and a final decision reached. Finally, a hand search was made of papers to identify other relevant studies for inclusion. For the systematic review a comprehensive summary of information extracted from the papers was written, that considered the interventions employed, methodological design, communication and support types used in the studies, clinical outcomes, ...
