Exposure therapy is the most effective method for treating anxiety disorders, especially specific phobias. But what can be done when imagination is not sufficient and confronting anxiety-provoking situations becomes too complex or impractical?

Virtual Reality opens completely new possibilities. Computer-generated, realistic spiders, heights, flights, or social situations allow therapy to be conducted easily under controlled conditions and with gradual increases in stimulus intensity.

This professional book provides a compact, well-founded, and practical overview of the theoretical foundations, scientific studies, and proven strategies for using VR in the treatment of anxiety and phobias. You will also receive valuable tips on how to integrate this technology into your therapeutic work.
