Can we predict who will benefit from cognitive-behavioural therapy? A systematic review and meta-analysis of machine learning studies Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 11.397) Pub Date : 2022-08-06 Sandra Vieira, Xinyi Liang, Raquel Guiomar, Andrea Mechelli
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is the first line of treatment for several mental health disorders. However, not all patients show clinical improvements after receiving CBT. Machine learning allows inferences at the individual level and therefore is a promising approach for predicting who will and will not benefit from CBT. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify all studies
