Cyber Therapy II, Virtual Healing, Designing Reality

Abstract

This year's theme for the 11th Annual CyberTherapy Conference, "Virtual Healing: Designing Reality," acknowledges the importance of two related types of scientific studies: clinical applications of VR and other technologies, and experimental research on why it has such a powerful impact on behavioral healthcare, medicine, and neuroscience. The theme also highlights changes which have occurred in the past decade; that which was once in the realm of science-fiction has now increasingly become part of our reality. A critical aim of this symposiurn is to stimulate more clinicians and technical professionals to design and test these tools, improving the overall outcome of cybertherapy interventions. This conference serves as a platform for representatives from both governmental and private funding agencies, as well as internationally renowned clinicians and researchers. By utilizing technology for training and therapy, we are able to improve existing protocols, and disseminate care to a wider segment of the population.
