The interactive computer-generated world of virtual reality has
been successful in treat ing phobias and other anxiety-related
conditions, in part because of its distinct advan tages over
traditional in vivo exposure. Yet many clinicians still think of VR
technology as it was in the 1990s-bulky, costly, technically
difficult-with little knowledge of its evolution toward more
modern, evidence-based, practice-friendly treatment. These updates,
and their clinical usefulness, are the subject of Advances in
Virtual Re ality and Anxiety Disorders, a timely guidebook geared
toward integrating up-to-date VR methods into everyday practice.
Introductory material covers key virtual reality concepts, provides
a brief history of VR as used in therapy for anxiety disorders, ad
dresses the concept of presence, and explains the side effects,
known as cybersickness, that affect a small percentage of clients.
Chapters in the book's main section detail current techniques and
review study findings for using VR in the treatment of: *
Claustrophobia. * Panic disorder, agoraphobia, and driving phobia.
* Acrophobia and aviophobia. * Arachnophobia. * Social phobia. *
Generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. * PTSD. * Plus clinical
guidelines for establishing a VR clinic. An in-depth framework for
effective (and cost-effective) therapeutic innovations for
entrenched problems, Advances in Virtual Reality and Anxiety
Disorders will find an engaged audience among psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, and mental health
counselors.eractive

Using a novel approach to consider the available literature and
research, this book focuses on the psychology of social media based
on the assumption that the experience of being in a social media
has an impact on both our identity and social relationships. In
order to 'be online', an individual has to create an online
presence - they have to share information about themselves online.
This online self is presented in different ways, with diverse goals
and aims in order to engage in different social media activities
and to achieve desired outcomes. Whilst this may not be a real
physical presence, that physicality is becoming increasingly
replicated through photos, video, and ever-evolving ways of
defining and describing the self online. Moreover, individuals are
using both PC-based and mobile-based social media as well as
increasingly making use of photo and video editing tools to
carefully craft and manipulate their online self. This book
therefore explores current debates in Cyberpsychology, drawing on
the most up-to-date theories and research to explore four main
aspects of the social media experience (communication, identity,
presence and relationships). In doing so, it considers the
interplay of different areas of psychological research with current
technological and security insight into how individuals create,
manipulate and maintain their online identity and relationships.
The social media are therefore at the core of every chapter, with
the common thread throughout being the very unique approach to
considering diverse and varied online behaviours that may not have
been thus far considered from this perspective. It covers a broad
range of both positive and negative behaviours that have now become
integrated into the daily lives of many westernised country's
Internet users, giving it an appeal to both scholarly and industry
readers alike.
