abstract = {Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy (CBT) can be combined with virtual reality (VR) to provide culturally safe and remotely delivered emotion regulation interventions. We conducted a co-design process of a CBT treatment manual and complementary VR environments for the Inuit populations from Nunavik. Here, we describe the knowledge gained during the adaptation process on the approach to mental well-being and psychotherapy. We followed qualitative, participatory, and research co-design methods. After an initial concept of VR-CBT, an advisory group made up of 7 adults identifying as or working with Inuit participated in 4 focus group meetings. A thematic analysis of the discussions was carried out. A non-symptom-focused approach with the therapist guiding the individual in empowerment and emotion management was accepted in the advisory group, replacing a symptom-focus. Several CBT in- and between-session techniques were seen critically or rejected, and time for working on a certain theme was increased. Some elements in the proposed landscape were rejected as unsafe, other elements added as culture-specific to increase safety. Future work should confirm broader acceptance and utility. Culturally specific factors play an essential role in acceptance of concepts and approaches used in psychotherapy. Accordingly, they can have an impact on acceptance and attendance in therapy. © 2024 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The quality of the working alliance established in such a therapeutic context remains often questioned.

This study assesses the impact of cognitive- behavioral therapy administered via telepsychotherapy or face-to-face on the quality of the working alliance. One hundred and 15 participants suffering from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) took part in this randomized controlled trial, 50 of whom were assigned to telepsychotherapy in videoconference and 65 of whom were assigned to conventional psychotherapy. Each client and their psychotherapist completed the Working Alliance Inventory every 2 sessions. In the current sample, telepsychotherapy did not interfere with the establishment of the working alliance over the course of the treatment for GAD. On the contrary, clients showed a stronger working alliance in telepsychotherapy delivered in videoconference than in conventional psychotherapy. Clients seemed to be more comfortable with telepsychotherapy than psychotherapists. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed. © 2020 American Psychological Association.},
