AVATAR therapy represents an innovative approach for individuals experiencing auditory hallucinations, particularly common in those with schizophrenia. Nearly 70% of these patients hear troubling voices, often critical or malicious. Traditional treatments rely heavily on antipsychotic medications, but up to 25% do not respond favorably and suffer from severe side effects. AVATAR therapy shifts this narrative by creating a digital avatar of the patient's inner voice, facilitating healthier and more constructive engagement. This method aims to alter the relationship between the patient and their voices, offering a promising alternative to conventional treatments.
In AVATAR therapy, a digital avatar represents the patient's inner voice, enabling constructive engagement and significant improvements for those with auditory hallucinations.
Preliminary research indicates that AVATAR therapy provides substantial benefits to patients experiencing auditory hallucinations by transforming their relationship with troubling inner voices.
