Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most debilitating psychological disorders affecting United States soldiers and veterans who have been exposed to combat. Treatments for PTSD include psychological debriefing, which has been criticized lately for its questionable efficacy, and imaginal exposure therapy, which is problematic in that some PTSD sufferers are unable to engage well enough to elicit the necessary response. The weaknesses inherent in these treatments have created a pressing need for alternatives. One promising option is to utilize virtual reality graded exposure therapy (VRGET). The Virtual Reality Medical Center (VRMC) is currently conducting research, funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), studying virtual reality therapy as an early intervention tool for PTSD. ; See also ADM001955, RTO-MP-HFM-134. Presented at the Conference on Human Dimensions in Military Operations: Military Leaders' Strategies for Addressing Stress and Psychological Support, held in Brussels, Belgium, on 24-26 Apr 2006. Published in the Proceedings of the Conference, p45-1 through 45-8, 2006. |
