Face to Face vs. Telemental Health

A Comprehensive Review and a Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness of Internet-Based Psychotherapeutic Interventions

A comparison between face-to-face and Internet intervention as

reported on in 14 of the studies revealed no differences in

ineffectiveness. The findings of this meta-analysis, and review of

additional Internet therapy studies not included in the meta-analysis,

provide strong support for the adoption of online psychological

interventions as a legitimate therapeutic activity and suggest several

insights regarding its application.

hospitalization utilization decreased by an average of approximately 25%.

communication and counseling or remote monitoring in chronic conditions

such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease, with improvements in

outcomes such as mortality, quality of life, and reductions in hospital

admissions.
