the market raises ethical concerns about their usefulness, appropriateness for particular clients, and the effect of reduced therapist contact on treatment outcomes (Newman et al., 2003). There is a need for research to investigate the appropriateness of self-help approaches for clients and treatment efficacy in light of their minimal contact format. A randomized controlled trial of a brief, inexpensive, and easy to administer treatment for health anxiety, such as guided self-help CBT, would support the use of this efficient treatment to help individuals with health anxiety. 29
1.2. Statement of purpose The purpose of this feasibility trial was to determine the efficacy of a CBT self- help book for health anxiety (It’s Not All in Your Head by Asmundson & Taylor, 2005) when compared to a wait-list control group. The findings of this study will be used in a future, large-scale randomized controlled trial of the self-help book. It was hypothesized that the self-help book treatment (SHB) would be a more efficacious treatment than wait- list control (WLC). It was expected that, relative to WLC, SHB would be more efficacious in reducing health anxiety as evidenced by reductions in scores on measures of health anxiety and related constructs. 30
