How to Treat Depression With Low-Intensity Virtual Reality Interventions: Perspectives on Translating Cognitive Behavioral Techniques Into the Virtual Reality Modality and How to Make Anti-Depressive Use of Virtual Reality–Unique Experiences
Overview
This paper discusses the translation of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for depression into low-intensity, automated virtual reality interventions that do not require a therapist. It outlines how specific CBT methods such as psychoeducation and behavioral activation can be adapted into VR experiences, alongside exploring unique VR features like alternative embodiment. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the development and potential of scalable digital mental health tools.
