Kim Bullock, MDClinical Professor, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Stanford School of MedicineLesson summary
VR therapy is not new — it has existed for almost 40 years. Barbara Rothbaum's randomised controlled trials began in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The evidence base has been building for decades; it simply hasn't been part of most clinicians' training or awareness until now.
