Digitale Interventionen in der Psychotherapie

Nach Jahren intensiver Forschung finden digitale Interventionen Anwendung in der psychotherapeutischen Routineversorgung. Sie erweitern das Behandlungsangebot und erreichen Menschen, die herkömmliche Therapieformen nicht in Anspruch nehmen können oder wollen. Der Beitrag beleuchtet die Vielfalt digitaler Interventionen, den praktischen Einsatz Digitaler Gesundheitsanwendungen (DiGA) in Deutschland sowie den Stand der Forschung.

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.
