Abstract
This paper describes a new computer based delivery method of cognitive behavioral therapy for relief of depression or anxiety. Blues Begone combines established psychological principles with a novel implementation that makes depression recovery available to many more people than face-to-face therapy, and without the side effects of drugs. A flexible architecture makes possible significant variation in content without software change
