Exploring Virtual Reality for Body Image Assessment and Psychological Interventions in Individuals With Obesity: a Comprehensive Review
Overview
This review examines twelve studies on using virtual reality to assess and treat body image disturbances in individuals with obesity. It categorizes research into psychological interventions, post-surgery applications, and full-body illusion experiments, noting that experiential cognitive therapy showed promise in reducing negative body image. The resource highlights limitations such as a lack of diversity in study populations and geographic concentration, while identifying gaps in VR's use as an assessment tool.
