Using virtual reality to create therapeutic experiences: From treating phobias to rehabilitating abusers

Can an abuser perceive fear in their victim? Lack of connection and empathy are common factors in cases of gender violence, child abuse, and other scenarios. In view of this, it’s also one of the core issues in abuser rehabilitation therapies. In the last few years, virtual reality has become a very significant tool in such therapies, as it makes it possible, for example, for abusers to put themselves in victims’ shoes and feel the threats and violence in a similar way to how they were felt by their victims.
