Abstract

Internet-based psychological treatments have had a great development. Online therapies are now available for most of disorders and psychological problems. These programs can vary not only in their contents, but also in its formal aspects (texts, videos, avatars ...), so that its acceptability (usability, learning, attractive ...) is not guaranteed and yet, acceptability is rarely assessed. The aim of this paper was to assess, by 15 therapists and 14 patients, a cognitive-behavioral internet-based treatment for agoraphobia (doctoragora.com/demo). A 10-item scale was developed and was formed by two components of acceptability (positive and negative). In general, both therapists and patients have a good acceptance of the program, although patients stated difficulties due to their complexity, and the need for greater learning. Therapists indicate that the program is very extensive. These results are discussed according to the need to assess acceptability prior to using any resource in telehealth.
