he aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of offline internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (OICBT) and individual cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) on depressed student.
Participants of the study were 24 depressed students who randomly selected from clients of Tehran universities counseling centers. Participants randomly placed in two groups. After applying Beck depression inventory (BDI) for both groups, OICBT was used for one group and CBT used for other group. To fallow UP, 6 month later BDI was applied for both groups. Data was analyzed by covariance analysis.
Results indicated that after therapy CBT was better than OICBT but after six month there were no difference between two treatments.
Results of this research showed that in long time there is no difference between the effectiveness of GCBT and OICBT. So, it is recommended to use OICBT besides face to face therapies.
