Face To Face CBT Is More Effective Than Online Therapy For Depression

Cbt is used as a Depression Treatment Gauteng based, which is still considered the best option in treating depression and it is definitely not losing its effectiveness according to Johnsen and Friborg’s (2015) meta-analysis. ICBT (Internet based cognitive behavioural therapy) is an acceptable form of treatment for depression but so is face-to-face CBT. The question is which one has a greater effect?

Study material was collected from trials that investigated treatment for adult depression. It was found that face-to-face CBT patients completed their treatment more by 3.1 % compared to iCBT. The percentage of patients that did not complete their treatment with face-to-face CBT completed on average 24.5% while iCBT completed on average 42.1%.
To conclude this investigation, studies were found in the trials that showed that face-to-face CBT is more effective than internet based cognitive behavioural therapy.
