Healing in the Headset: VR Therapy Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe virtual reality therapy across the settings where it is genuinely used. Writers describe putting it on for the first time — the weight, the resolution, the nausea, the self-consciousness — and then climbing the ladder: graded exposure therapy for phobias of heights, flying, spiders, needles and public speaking, and PTSD protocols conducted with a therapist in the room. There are stroke and vestibular rehabilitation programmes where a game made hundreds of repetitions tolerable, and burn care and wound dressing where immersion functioned as genuine analgesia. Writers describe what changed and where the plateaus came, and cover pain management programmes and cognitive assessment. Later chapters hold clinicians' perspectives on which claims the evidence supports, access and cost, cybersickness, and the cases where the headset was the wrong tool.

Who it's for

For patients offered VR-based therapy or rehabilitation, clinicians considering it in a service, and readers who want the evidence separated from the marketing.
