Scientists create 'avatar therapy' for psychosis patients

- Scientists say they've made a potentially life-changing breakthrough in the treatment of patients who hear voices.
It involves creating a computerised avatar of the voice they hear, including how it sounds and what it might look like.
Researchers say the technique can teach people to stand up to, confront and defend themselves against the voices they hear and help reduce the distress they experience.

as a schizophrenic i use the soundtrack and narratives of docs and music on the computer to drown out the voices. i would hate to have to spend my computer time further giving more audience to the voices, as they will be there anyway when i turn of the computer.
This looks like exposure therapy but far more abstract, like extracting the voice and placing it within something that they can then try and walk away from?
This might actually be a good thing. Hope it works out for people
What happens if she bumps into someone who looks like her avatar?
😂😂😂😂
Then she'll have experience to draw upon reassuring her that she can walk away.
Just looking at this makes me feel like I'm going crazy.
They could go full Fight Club (virtually) on the avatar to silence it forever.
I know a few people with Psychosis. I have doubts.....
Sounds exhausting.
Makes a nice fresh change from:
"Here, take these drugs"
Hearing voices is a separate issue from psychosis. Most people who experience psychosis don't hear voices. Misleading info for public.
My close friend was diagnosed with psychosis and she hears voices. It's not misleading
Somehow I don't think that actualising their hallucinations is the smartest idea.
Write a paper about it
It does seem like it worryingly legitimises them to a degree , instead of ignoring or dismissing them as what they are: false hallucinations.
Although in all fairness, I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Is this offered anywhere? I can’t find anywhere that offers it.
For those who really want to get over psychosis this method seems worth it. It's a very different matter when demons are involved.
This is creepy
how is this going to work giving a face to the voice is damaging they will see this all the time
Becareful what u say. If I said years ago, I hear sirens everywhere I go. It may just come truth. 😢
So they have to spend most of their life in front of a computer screen then.
Obviously not if she managed to get a husband, job and drivers licence soon.
se parece a vegetta777 xd
