Hypochondriasis (health anxiety) is common, has many negative consequences for the afflicted individual and is associated with high societal costs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has proven to be effective when administered in live-sessions. The aim of this study is to investigate whether CBT remains effective when administered via a self-help programme on the Internet.
