Virtually Better therapy systems and protocols were developed by Dr. Barbara O. Rothbaum of Emory University School of Medicine and Dr. Larry F. Hodges of Georgia Tech. Virtually Better therapy systems combine research and technology advances in virtual reality with the most advanced developments and clinical practice in exposure therapy.
Virtual reality eliminates many of the risks and expenses of conducting in vivo exposure therapy.
The target audience for these systems and related training is mental health professionals who treat patients with anxiety disorders.
