摘要

Early on in the Iraq War, clinical psychologist Albert "Skip" Rizzo stumbled upon the video game Full Spectrum Warrior and determined to make a therapeutic tool out of it. Rizzo, a University of Southern California professor who had designed virtual reality tools to measure attention deficits in children, realized that thousands of soldiers would come back from the Middle East with post-traumatic stress disorder. Since 2005 the program he developed, Virtual Iraq, has had great success in treating the returning troops. What is the greatest challenge in your field today? To help people plagued by nightmares, flashbacks, and relentless stress related to a traumatic episode-being raped, narrowly escaping the collapse of the Twin Towers, witnessing a buddy die on the battlefield. Traditionally the best treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] is to have the person relive the trauma using his or her imagination. Repeated exposure to the horror can desensitize individuals and help them stay calm enough to reprocess what happened and get beyond it.
