2. 6. Virtual reality exposure therapy for spider phobia

   Author : Alexander Miloff; Per Carlbring; Lena (Lotta) Reuterskiöld; Nexhmedin Morina; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Specific phobia; spider phobia; spider; fear; anxiety; virtual reality; exposure therapy; automated; alliance; psychometric; factor analysis; virtual therapist; RCT; randomized; non-inferiority; clinical trial; dissemination; 12-month follow-up; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : Exposure therapy for specific phobia involving systematic and repeated presentation of an aversive stimuli or situation is a highly effective treatment for reducing fear and anxiety. Dissemination of this evidence-based treatment has proved challenging, however, and for over 20 years an alternative method of delivery using virtual reality technology has been explored with positive results.
