Live Workshop: Virtual Reality in the Assessment, Understanding, and Treatment of Mental Health Disorders
This presentation will be an ONLINE VIRTUAL LIVE broadcast on June 30, 2023 from 12:00 PM- 1:00 PM ET. While this activity is broadcast LIVE, the evaluation will be online until July 28, 2023. Go to the Register tab above to learn how to participate for continuing education credit, watch the broadcast and download the slides.
The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.
A twenty-year programme of work using immersive virtual reality to assess, understand, and treat mental health disorders will be outlined. A chronological presentation of studies will illustrate the issues addressed, show the evolution of the technology, and highlight key areas for the future. The case will be made that much greater access to the best psychological treatments can be achieved using automated delivery in VR. In this automation process VR therapies need not simply replicate face-to-face therapy but can be used in innovative ways – impossible in the real world - to enhance treatment outcomes. The results of the first trial of automated VR therapy with patients with psychosis will be described.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the key elements of a VR system.
- Explain the uses of VR in mental health.
- Summarize the types of evidence that VR may help in mental health treatment.
There is no commercial support for this activity.
