Objective
We analyzed the preference of three psychological intervention formats—individual, group,
and online—in a sample of 267 patients with a primary diagnosis of emotional disorder in
Spanish public mental health settings.
Method
We studied patients’ preferences considering sociodemographic characteristics, diagnoses,
history of psychological treatments, number of sessions, and satisfaction with past
interventions.
Results
Most participants (85.4%) preferred psychological treatment in an individual format, 14.2%
in group, and 0.4% online. When comparing the people who chose individual and group
treatment, no demographic or clinical differences were found. The arguments against group
format were the lack of privacy and expression difficulties. Regarding online format, these
included being considered impersonal and ineffective.
Conclusion
The rejection of group and online psychotherapy formats allows us to define the actions we
should carry out in public mental health settings to improve the acceptance of more costeffective therapy formats. [-]
