Stepped care and e-health: practical applications to behavioral disorders

Stepped care provides the least intrusive intervention to individuals seeking treatment by providing a range of treatment intensities.

In the past two decades, computers and the internet have provided a new and efficient medium that lends well to adding steps in a stepped-care model.

While there is ample evidence to support the positive effects of bibliotherapy or self-help books, computer-aided therapy (also known as e-health) has the potential to take these effects even further.This volume will be of interest to practitioners and organizations attempting to serve rural and underserved communities.

The book focuses on evidence-based treatment, making it consistent with quality improvement initiatives.
