Real Life Stories

 

FearFighter(FF) is delivered over the Internet with the same efficacy as existing CBT services. Patients are given a password. With it they are encouraged to use FearFighter at home or anywhere else linked to the internet over about 10 weeks as often as they wish but for at least once a week. FearFighter helps patients identify specific problems, develop and work on realistic treatment goals, and monitor achievement of those goals' by repeated self-exposure. They also get scheduled brief helpline support to a total of one hour over 10 weeks.

Developed by Stuart Toole and Prof. Isaac Marks, FF has been importantly acknowledged by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) as being clinically proven as effective for the treatment of panic/anxiety and phobias. FF has been successfully trialled and purchased by the Institute of Psychiatry London, West London Mental Health Trust, Hillingdon PCT, City and Hackney PCT and Office of the Chief Scientist in Scotland for use in the Scottish Highlands.

FearFighter (FF) is based on over 20 years of development and has been extensively tested in clinical randomised control trials (RCTs) and open studies at the Institute of Psychiatry and Imperial College. It is the most fully-realised evidence-based form of computer-aided cognitive behaviour therapy (CCBT). It has been designed to aid the treatment of sufferers from panic/anxiety and phobias and can also help where anxiety is co-morbid with depression or obsessive compulsive disorders.
