Every year approximately 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States (Langlois J.A. et al., 2006). Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder are commonly observed in these individuals. The prevalence of depression following TBI has been reported to range from 14-77% (Ashman et al., 2004). The rate of major depressive disorder within the first year after TBI is 7.9 times greater than in the general population (Bombardier et al., 2010). Mental health conditions can affect the individual for years, even decades after the initial trauma (Dikmen et al., 2004; Holsinger et al., 2002). Further, depression after TBI can lead to worse global outcomes (Fedoroff et al., 1992), poorer social functioning (Bourdon et al., 1992; Jorge et al., 1993; Schoenhuber & Gentilini, 1988), lower health-related quality of life, including an inability to return to work (Christensen et al., 1994; Rutherford, 1977), and suicide (Hesdorffer et al., 2009). Post-TBI mental health conditions must be treated promptly as they can impair individuals from engaging in the rehabilitation process: these individuals experience poorer recoveries compared to individuals with TBI without mental health conditions (McAllister & Arciniegas, 2002; Mooney et al., 2005; Mooney & Speed, 2001). Although mental health disorders are a major cause of disability, many individuals, particularly those with depression do not receive adequate treatment (Andrews & Henderson, 1999; Bebbington et al., 2000; Kessler et al., 2001). One strategy to address this problem has been the development of technology-based mental health treatment programs. The recent widespread adoption of various computers and handheld devices in everyday life activities presents an opportunity to examine how these technologies can best facilitate various types of mental health treatments for individuals with TBI. Such programs utilize established and emerging technologies such as the Internet, handheld devices, downloadable computer programs, telephones, virtual reality, and video teleconferencing. In addition to providing an adjunct to traditional psychotherapy, technology-based approaches have the potential to deliver self-help interventions to people who do not seek or receive help for their condition (Kaltenthaler et al., 2002; Proudfoot et al., 2003). Further, technology-based treatment programs may have several advantages compared to conventional psychotherapy (Christensen & Griffiths, 2002; Garcia et al., 2004; Gega et al., 2004):
