The Development of a Common Factors Based Virtual Reality Therapy System for Remote Psychotherapy Applications

Abstract

In person psychotherapy can be inaccessible to many, particularly isolated populations. Remote psychotherapy has been proposed as a more accessible alternative. However, certain limitations in the current solutions including providing a restorative therapeutic environment and therapeutic alliance have meant that many other people are left behind and do not receive adequate treatment. A common factors based VR and EEG remote psychotherapy system can make remote psychotherapy more accessible and effective for people in which current options are not sufficient.
