Description
Safa Hasan and co-authors review augmented reality exposure therapy for adults with phobias. Their review from 2023 notes that live exposure works but can endanger client and therapist, and many patients refuse or quit it. Layering feared sights over the real room offers a safer middle path.
Four databases were searched for trials up to August 2022. Six studies with 208 people in total fit. Against no care, the reality therapy groups improved clearly. Against live exposure head to head, no clear gap showed in results or in the bond between client and therapist. The authors call the method promising but the trial base still small.
