Abstract in brief

  • Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) has been shown to produce significant improvements in real-life situations for patients with specific phobias.
  • Patients undergoing VRET perform better on behavioral assessments after treatment compared to before and also outperform those on a waitlist, with effects comparable to in vivo exposure.
  • The study concludes that the gains from VRET can be generalized to real-world behavior, supporting its effectiveness as a treatment for specific phobias.
