Virtual Iraq was originally adapted from the video game “Full Spectrum Warrior” and is credited to Dr Albert “Skip” Rizzo, a clinical psychologist from the University of Southern California. The system is available for both research and clinical use. Virtual Iraq is a form of virtual reality exposure therapy; the patient is virtually exposed to stimuli to allow them to face the traumatic experience that led to their PTSD.
