Avatar therapy helps confront distressing voices

The evidence

Avatar therapy for persecutory auditory hallucinations: What is it and how does it work?
Julian Leff, Geoffrey Williams, Mark Huckvale, Maurice Arbuthnot & Alex P.Leff

Psychosis, 6:2, 166-176,

Abstract We have developed a novel therapy based on a computer program, which
enables the patient to create an avatar of the entity, human or non-human, which
they believe is persecuting them. The therapist encourages the patient to enter
into a dialogue with their avatar, and is able to use the program to change the
avatar so that it comes under the patient's control over the course of six 30-min
sessions and alters from being abusive to becoming friendly and supportive.
The therapy was evaluated in a randomised controlled trial with a partial crossover
design. One group went straight into the therapy arm: "immediate therapy".
The other continued with standard clinical care for 7 weeks then crossed over
into Avatar therapy: "delayed therapy". There was a significant reduction in the
frequency and intensity of the voices and in their omnipotence and malevolence.
Several individuals had a dramatic response, their voices ceasing completely
after a few sessions of the therapy. The average effect size of the therapy was
0.8. We discuss the possible psychological mechanisms for the success of Avatar
therapy and the implications for the origins of persecutory voices.
