DiscoVR: results of a multicenter RCT on a social cognitive virtual reality training to enhance social cognition in psychosis

Abstract

Introduction: Functional deficits, that is, problems in fulfilling appropriate social roles in daily life, are very common in people with a psychotic disorder. In recent years, Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a potential tool to improve SCT. Our research group has developed an immersive VR-SCT ('Dynamic Interactive Social Cognition Training in Virtual Reality': 'DiSCoVR').
