A new analysis of phone therapy research by Northwestern University shows that when patients receive psychotherapy for depression over the phone, more than 90 percent continue with it.

The research showed that the average attrition rate in the telephone therapy was only 7.6 percent, compared to nearly 50 percent in face-to-face therapy. The researchers also found that telephone therapy was just as effective at reducing depressive symptoms as face-to-face treatment.

Beating the Blues® has been through independent randomised control trials. The results of these trials, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry1, demonstrate that Beating the Blues® is an effective treatment for depression and anxiety, and is better than GP treatment as usual. Patients using Beating the Blues® benefit from 30 additional depression free-days in the 6 months after treatment2. Patient satisfaction has been demonstrated in an open study when nine out of ten patients would recommend Beating the Blues® to others and over half found the programme better than other treatments they had previously received.
