Clinically Proven Results
My Virtual Shrink is the result of 20 years of research, study, development and the professional practice of nationally recognized psychiatrist, professor, author and company founder, Dr Roger Gould. At the infancy of personal computing, Dr. Gould saw the potential to deliver effective therapy via computers. He has been recognized by a Smithsonian Institute Award as a pioneer in the use of computers in mental health.
My Virtual Shrink has been clinically tested in 7 separate scientific studies and used by over 25,000 hospital and mental health center patients. Major healthcare providers such as CIGNA and Kaiser Permanente and the V.A. have used and tested My Virtual Shrink as a treatment resource. In the most recent study conducted by UCLA and Kaiser Permanente, My Virtual Shrink's method was found to be about as effective as traditional therapy.1
Specifically, the UCLA study reports, "Thus, our study shows that computer-based therapy generated improvement from pre-treatment to post treatment on a variety of important psychological measures... Furthermore, on most of our measures, the changes in computer-based treatment were not distinguishable from the changes generated in traditional individual psychotherapy."
In CIGNA's study of over 2,000 patients, 73% reported lower stress and 81% reported better problem solving. Over 15,000 psychiatric hospital patients reported 85% effectiveness. The results from over 3,000 MHN Outpatient Clinics reported 53% fewer sessions to desired outcome.
My Virtual Shrink's sister website, Shrink Yourself, which uses the same methodology, has been used by over 20,000 people over the last 3 year to overcome the problem of emotional eating.
