Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of virtual reality (VR) treatment and rehabilitation for mentally ill patients who have committed a crime or are at risk of relapse. The authors focus on the forensic mental health field since this area relates to any individual dealing with a psychiatric condition that is in trouble with the law, whether they be inpatient offenders, outpatient offenders, or inmates at a regular prison. Virtual reality (VR) and its current uses, as well as its benefits and barriers, are presented as a successful and individualized eHealth treatment. In addition, some examples of VR studies that were recently done with these individuals will be presented to show the results of their current approaches, demonstrate their limitations, and figure out possible ways of improvement.
