The Use of Virtual Reality to Facilitate Mindfulness Skills Training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Case Study
Overview
This case study examines the feasibility of using immersive virtual reality to support dialectical behavior therapy mindfulness training for a 32-year-old female with borderline personality disorder. The resource describes how VR environments were used to help the patient manage emotional reactivity and concentration difficulties during sessions. It reports that the patient found the approach acceptable and experienced reductions in urges to self-harm, suicide, and substance use, while noting the need for future controlled studies.
