Abstract:
Information technology (IT) is increasingly being used to facilitate, complement, and support the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) in psychology. This article reviews recent randomised trials that evaluate the integration of IT applications into the process of delivering EBP. More specifically, we review 11 studies that illustrate how IT has been successfully integrated into traditional clinician-delivered psychotherapy to promote the adoption of EBP. Advantages and disadvantages of this approach are discussed. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for clinicians who are interested in integrating IT into their practice.
