Cognitive behavioural therapy in virtual reality treatments across mental health conditions: a systematic review

Background. Virtual reality (VR) has been effectively used in the treatment of many mental health disorders.However, significant gaps exist in the literature. There is no treatment framework for researchers to use whendeveloping new VR treatments. One recommended treatment across a range of diagnose...
