Psychosocial Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT):

« Back to Glossary Index

Psychosocial VRT has proven effective as an alternative form to exposure therapy for treatment of phobias, especially for those individuals who have difficulty imaging (or re-creating) an anxiety-producing situation. Instead, they interact with harmless virtual representations of stressors to reduce specific fear responses (fear of flying, heights). Also see Virtual Reality Therapy or VRT
