What this Trial Is About
Violent and aggressive behavior as well as disorders related to aggressive behavior are highly common in both adult and juvenile forensic psychiatric patients, and is also present in a subgroup of non-forensic psychiatric in- and out-patients. One promising new treatment option is Virtual Reality. A newly developed program in this area is the Virtual Reality Aggression Prevention Training (VRAPT). The purpose of the current feasibility and pilot study is to test VRAPT in a Swiss forensic and non-forensic psychiatric setting, including both adult and juvenile patients, and to examine whether VRAPT is an effective treatment method for aggressive behavior.
