"Phone-based therapy can be less hassle for patients. (Peter DaSilva for the New York Times)"

- Preview

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.

- “The telephone is a tool that allows the therapists to reach out to patients, rather than requiring that patients reach out to therapists.”

  Very interesting self-help technique. I need to read the results of this trial.
Add Sticky Note
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.
