Can others here share their knowledge of current research that pursues the use of illusion (MVF therapy as in Ramachandran, proprioceptive VR illusion as in Ehrsson/Blanke) to specifically target positive anticipation, and the growth of esteem and self-efficacy? This is the focus of my current research, to fashion anticipative relief between therapeutic (paraplegic) sessions. Any thoughts appreciated.
There is some research on therapy for patients phobias using virtual and augmented reality. Although your patient population is different, this review article may be helpful for your theoretical framework, since it reviews known mechanisms associated with improving fear cognitions, one of which is to increase self-efficacy in coping with phobic stimuli:
Baus & Bourchard (2014). Moving from Virtual Reality Exposure-Based Therapy to Augmented Reality Exposure-Based Therapy: A Review. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24624073).
Thank you Catherine, I hadn't seen the augmented approach. This will be useful as well, thanks.
