Abstract
The virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) are currently being used to provide support for psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy given to patients with fears and phobias. The objective of this document is to determine the feasibility in terms of the effectiveness of the use of VRET to treat social phobia and agoraphobia in the treatment of patients who suffer from it. The effectiveness is evaluated based on the comparison of the reduction of anxiety scores with respect to sweating, heart rate, subjective units of anxiety (SUA) and clinical criteria in a period of 6 weeks of treatment with a specialized psychologist who monitors the software on 5 patients with social phobia and another 5 with agoraphobia.
