Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) is positioned to transform the treatment of psychological conditions, by overcoming the disconnect between clients’ lived experiences and clinical or research settings. In aide of this, a novel VR exposure therapy system was developed and validated in people with moderate-severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Promisingly, when participant responses were compared to the existing best-practice in psychotherapy, equivalent heart and respiration rates, and self-reported anxiety, were produced. VR helps patients engage better with their treatment and maintains the therapeutic relationship. These findings can improve treatment for the 3 percent of people worldwide living with severe functional impacts of OCD.
