Virtual Reality chairwork for schema therapy in healthy volunteers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial compares a standard imagination-based chairwork exercise with a Virtual Reality version where participants interact with virtual representations of their own parts in a 3D environment. It targets healthy volunteers who may have dominant schema modes and limited imagination. Researchers will assess engagement, ease of imagery, and potential changes in mood or self-perception after the sessions. The study is conducted at University Medical Center Groningen with collaboration from the University of Groningen. Participants must meet language and age criteria and exhibit certain schema modes to enroll.
