Virtual Reality for Serious Illness explores the important role virtual-reality interventions can play in symptom management, anxiety control, and spiritual meaning. This book focuses on cutting-edge research and its effects on the seriously ill and those who treat the seriously ill. The innovation in this book is twofold: It is a global look at the use of virtual reality in complex medical cases where it takes an interdisciplinary look at use of virtual reality, and it includes a strong focus on the spiritual healing resulting from the meaning and purpose found during this intervention.The book is written for professionals who use holistic healing measures in the scope of treatment for chronic and seriously ill patients. It is written for all disciplines acting in holistic healthcare healing, including physicians, chaplains, nurses, and informatics interventionists.
