[Digital Interventions in Psychotherapy].

Abstract

During the last 20 years, many digital interventions in psychotherapy have been developed and tested for a wide range of clinical problems. Digital interventions expand the range of treatment options and reach people who are unable or unwilling to take part in traditional psychotherapy. This article sheds light on various forms of digital interventions, such as unguided and guided self-help interventions, blended treatments, and video-based therapy, the practical use of Digital Health Applications (DiGA) in Germany, and the current state of research in digital interventions.
