The Science

The Master Kit is a computer-based multimedia training tool meant for daily independent work with one’s own beliefs, fears, anxieties, accepted personal traits and self-image.

Master Kit uses evidence-based methods based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Humanistic psychology and Covert speech.  The program is constantly being improved and upgraded to integrate new scientific findings.

Master Kit allows its user to:

• Helps the user to develop internal locus of control (Self-Regulation)
• Discover and verbalize unconscious beliefs (mind set) that work against achieving the user’s goals
• Remove self-defeating, subconscious beliefs and thought patterns.
• Work with one’s own fears, angers, distorted self-images, distorted and negative images of the situations and the world.
• Work with unaccepted personal qualities and self-acceptance.

The RISR Institute is a group of certified psychologists that are using the scientific method to investigate the true effects of information technology based self-help programs.

There is plenty of research that shows that internet delivered non guided CBT works and can be just as effective as therapist delivered treatment for anxiety and depression.  Master Kit is a combination of self-directed CBT and video coaching. Additionally, there is ongoing research collaboration with Moscow State University and Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest and the latest results of a study of over 4000 users of Master Kit were presented at EBM conference in Oxford in July 2019.  Here are some of the results presented.
