ANNUAL REVIEW OF CYBERTHERAPY
AND TELEMEDICINE 2013
Studies in Health Technology and
Informatics
This book series was started in 1990 to promote research conducted under the auspices of the EC
programmes’ Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) and Biomedical and Health Research
(BHR) bioengineering branch. A driving aspect of international health informatics is that
telecommunication technology, rehabilitative technology, intelligent home technology and many
other components are moving together and form one integrated world of information and
communication media. The series has been accepted by MEDLINE/PubMed, SciVerse Scopus,
EMCare, Book Citation Index – Science and Thomson Reuters’ Conference Proceedings Citation
Index.

Preface
ARCTT is a peer-reviewed all-purpose journal covering a wide variety of topics of
interest to the mental health, neuroscience, and rehabilitation communities. The mis-
sion of ARCTT is to provide systematic, periodic examinations of scholarly advances
in the field of CyberTherapy and Telemedicine through original investigations in the
telemedicine and cybertherapy areas, novel experimental clinical studies, and critical
authoritative reviews.
We have put a great deal of effort into the definition of the structure of the volume
and in the sequence of the contributions, so that those in search of a specific reading
path will be rewarded. To this end we have divided the different chapters into seven
main sections:
1. Editorial: This introductory text expresses the position of the Editors – Bren-
da K. Wiederhold and Giuseppe Riva – about the focus of this year’s issue;
2. White Paper: This introductory chapter states the position of the International
Association of CyberPsychology, Training, and Rehabilitation (iACToR –
http://iactor.ning.com/) about critical issues for the future of the field;
3. Critical Reviews: These chapters summarize and evaluate emerging cyber-
therapy topics, including technology-enhanced rehabilitation, Interreality, and
Intersubjectivity;
4. Evaluation Studies: These chapters are generally undertaken to solve specific
practical problems and yield decisions about the value of cybertherapy inter-
ventions;
5. Original Research: These chapters include research studies which address
new cybertherapy methods or approaches;
6. Clinical Observations: These chapters include case studies or research proto-
cols with long-term potential;
7. Work in Progress: These chapters include papers describing future research
work.
For both health professionals and patients, the selected contents will play an im-
portant role in ensuring that the necessary skills and familiarity with the tools are avail-
able, as well as a fair understanding of the context of interaction in which they operate.
We are grateful to Chelsie Boyd from the Virtual Reality Medical Institute for her
work in collecting and coordinating chapters for this volume. We sincerely hope that
you will find this year’s volume to be a fascinating and intellectually stimulating read.
We continue to believe that together we can make an improvement to healthcare sys-
tems.
