The Benefits of Therapy by Phone - Well Blog - NYTimes.com
"Phone-based therapy can be less hassle for patients. (Peter DaSilva for the New York Times)"
- 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.”
