The application of virtual avatar in anorexia nervosa
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2025, Vol 51, Issue 1
Abstract
Virtual avatar possesses unique advantages such as high degree of realism, immersion and visualization, and the research on applying it to the assessment and treatment of anorexia nervosa is increasing year by year. In terms of assessment, there are mainly avatar versions of the figure rating scales, yes-no tasks and its variations, method of adjustment, and the use of virtual cylinder technique. In terms of treatment, there are mainly intervention methods based on virtual avatar exposure therapy, body swapping illusions, perceptual/attention training and self-empowerment, as well as some new potential interventions. Overall, the current research around anorexia nervosa using virtual avatar techniques is still in its early stages and there is still a lot of room for further exploration.
