这是第一份案例报告，展示了沉浸式计算机生成的虚拟现实 (VR) 和混合现实（触摸患者在 VR 中也看到的真实物体）治疗蜘蛛恐惧症的功效。对象是一名 37 岁女性，对蜘蛛有严重的恐惧感，导致其丧失行为能力。在 3 个月的时间内进行了 12 次每周 1 小时的课程。结果是通过对真实蜘蛛的焦虑、回避和行为变化的测量来评估的。 VR分级暴露疗法成功地减少了对蜘蛛的恐惧，为越来越多的文献提供了一致的证据，表明VR作为暴露疗法新媒介的有效性。版权所有 (C) 1997 爱思唯尔科学有限公司
This is the first case report to demonstrate the efficacy of immersive computer-generated virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (touching real objects which patients also saw in VR) for the treatment of spider phobia. The subject was a 37-yr-old Female with severe and incapacitating fear of spiders. Twelve weekly 1 hr sessions were conducted over a 3-month period. Outcome was assessed on measures of anxiety, avoidance, and changes in behavior toward real spiders. VR graded exposure therapy was successful for reducing fear of spiders, providing converging evidence for a growing literature showing the effectiveness of VR as a new medium for exposure therapy.
