Treatment of Complicated Grief Using Virtual Reality: A Case Report
Botella, C.; Osma, J.; Palacios, A. Garcia; Guillen, V.; Banos, R.
Death Studies, v32 n7 p674-692 Aug 2008
This is the first work exploring the application of new technologies, concretely virtual reality, to facilitate emotional processing in the treatment of Complicated Grief. Our research team has designed a virtual reality environment (EMMA's World) to foster the expression and processing of emotions. In this study the authors present a description of EMMA's World, the clinical protocol, and a case report. The treatment program was applied in eight sessions. We present a brief description of the session agendas including the techniques used. We offer short-term (from pre-test to post-test) and long-term (2-, 6- and 12-month follow-ups) efficacy data. Our results offer preliminary support of the use of EMMA's World for the treatment of Complicated Grief. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
