The research on over 20,000 people, including seven separate studies, has proved that our programs are safe and effective. The most recent study conducted independently by Kaiser Permanente and U.C.L.A. finds that each session has the same effect as a session with an experienced therapist.
A UCLA / Kaiser study finds the TLP to be a powerful Self Help tool.
Subjects in both groups showed a significant decrease in depression, anxiety and perceived stress at the end of treatment. The frequency and severity of symptoms reported by subjects in both groups significantly declined at the end of the program. At the six-month follow-up, patients in both groups experienced a slight regression, but were still significantly improved from their pre-treatment conditions. Differences between the two groups was minimal.“In conclusion, although many clinicians have assumed that using a tool in therapy is ineffective at best, and have argued that patients would find it objectionable, the present empirical investigation suggests that at least one form of computer-assisted psychotherapy, TLP, is no less clinically effective or less acceptable that state-of-the-art, short-term cognitive-behavioral therapy conducted by experienced clinicians.”Sharon Dolezol-Wood, Ph.D., Kaiser March 1995Interactive software is an efficient method of gathering information and enhancing patient participation. As an excellent wellness and prevention program it can offset medical costs. Dr. Marion Jacobs, UCLA March 1995
