Essay from the year 2024 in the subject Psychology - Consulting and Therapy, grade: A, , course: Mental Health Nursing, language: English, abstract: This paper critically analyzes the effectiveness of online therapeutic interventions, focusing on cognitive restructuring as part of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals with mental distress, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Drawing on studies that highlight the benefits of internet-based CBT, the paper examines how cognitive restructuring aids in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression by challenging and replacing negative thought patterns. It explores the flexibility and accessibility of these interventions while discussing key challenges, such as low adherence rates and ethical concerns, including privacy, informed consent, and cultural sensitivity. The analysis highlights both therapist-guided and unguided internet-based CBT programs, addressing their relative effectiveness. Intersectional issues like internet access and cognitive abilities are also considered. Ultimately, the paper underscores the need for further research into the limitations of these programs, particularly regarding adherence and the potential for more personalized, culturally sensitive interventions.
