Brief Summary:
Treatment of verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia is clinically challenging for both the patient and the therapist For the therapist one of the main difficulties arises from the impossibility of directly communicating with the entity persecuting the patient For the patient the therapeutic process is challenging because it aims at getting to better cope with an entity that keeps repeating stereotyped and abusive sentences without having the emotional strength to reply to the persecutor To help overcome these clinical challenges virtual reality enable patients to recreate the face and the voice of their persecutorThe hypothesis is that the engagement of patients in a dialogue with an external representation of their persecutor with the support of the therapist would help them to gain better control over their voices
