In two recently conducted
randomized controlled trials (RCTs) our research group has
shown that Internet-delivered exposure-based cognitive behavior
therapy (ICBT) is effective in the treatment of severe health anxiety
(Hedman et al., 2011, 2014). ICBT can be described as therapistguided
online bibliotherapy and requires less therapist time than
face-to-face CBT and has the important advantage that each therapist
can treat as many as 80 patients simultaneously
