Wirtualna Rzeczywistość (ang. Virtual Reality - VR) jako skuteczne narzędzie terapii fobii społecznej

Social Phobia is one of the most common disorders affecting 13% of the world’s population. Virtual Reality is a well-known and relatively often used tool of assessment and treatment of phobia in Western countries (especially in the UK, France and the USA), but less so in Poland. Hence, the main objective of the paper is to present the Virtual Reality Therapy as an efficient kind of treatment, which has many advantages. The author points out a wide array of possibilities connected with application of VR. Klinger’s and her colleagues’ Virtual Reality Theraphy serves as the example to explain this method.
