ABSTRACT A bibliometric revision of the researches based on Clinical Psychology evidences published on six psychological journals between 1990-2002 and 2005: Terapia Psicológica, Revista Chilena de Psicología, Psykhe (Chileans), and Interdisciplinaria, Revista Argentina de Clínica Psicológica and Investigaciones en Psicología (argentines) was investigated. The results were evaluated based on the frequency of the articles, orientation and efficiency criteria for treatments with empiric support established by Chambles & Hollond (1998) and by Seligman (1995). Scarce publications were found about empiric researches on clinical psychology in both countries. Also, most of them agree with the international tendency related with the predominance of the cognitive- behavioral approach, although none of them reunites all the requirements of efficiency established by Chambles & Hollond (1998) and by Seligman (1995). Some incipient data seem to indicate that these results will be modified in the future. Key words: Empirically Supported Treatments in Psychology, bibliometric investigation, Chilean and Argentinian psychology journals.

Abstract A new treatment form has emerged that merges cognitive behaviour therapy with the Internet. By delivering treatment components, mainly in the form of texts presented via web pages, and provide ongoing support using e-mail promising outcomes can be achieved. The literature on this novel form of treatment has grown rapidly over recent years with several controlled trials in the field of anxiety disorders, mood disorders and behavioural medicine. For some of the conditions for which Internet-delivered CBT has been tested, independent replications have shown large effect sizes, for example in the treatment of social anxiety disorder. In some studies, Internet-delivered treatment can achieve similar outcomes as in face-to-face CBT, but the literature thus far is restricted mainly to efficacy trials. This article provides a brief summary of the evidence, comments on the role of the therapist and for which patient and therapist this is suitable. Areas of future research and exploration are identified. Keywords Guided Internet-delivered treatment; Anxiety disorders; Mood disorders; Therapist input
