Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine if an internet-based exposure therapy is more effective in reducing excessive worry amongst patients who suffer from this problem than is internet-based stress management training.

Conditions

  • Excessive Worry

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Internet-based exposure therapy (I-ET)

The internet-based exposure therapy (I-ET) group receives a ten-week Internet-based CBT treatment, which is an extended version of the self-help book "Sluta älta och grubbla med kognitiv beteendeterapi" (How to quit worrying and ruminating with Cognitive behavior therapy) by licensed psychologist Olle Wadström (2007). The main focus of the book is to expose to the frightening word/image and refrain from using neutralizing thoughts. This is supposed to lead to the extinction of upsetting words/images.

BEHAVIORAL

Internet-based stress management therapy

The I-SMT group receives a ten-week Internet-based CBT treatment focused on stress and how to manage stressful situations. This protocol is based on current evidence based recommendations for worry and has shown to be effective when delivered via the internet for irritable bowel syndrome and hypochondric worries.
