System Constellations in Virtual Reality (VR)
Sponsor:

University of Witten/Herdecke

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Christina Hunger-Schoppe

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of system constellations in Virtual Reality (VR) in a monocentric, single-masked randomized controlled trial. The method of system constellations refers to an approach which integrates ideas from organizational and family systems counseling with elements from psychodrama. The constellations are conducted in a group based VR-seminar, each VR-seminar lasting two to three days. Based on the model of a general mental health, the effects of system constellations in VR on psychological and systems functioning are explored. It is predicted that participation in a system constellation VR-seminar changes the level of psychological and systems functioning at 4 months.

Arm Intervention/treatment

Experimental: System Constellation VR-Seminar (exp. group)

By externalising significant elements, systemic constellations render the inner image someone has of a personally important social system in a visible and tangible way to get more clarity about psycho-social conflicts to make goal-oriented changes. In this study, the method System Constellation will be applied in a Virtual Reality (VR) setting during two to three day seminars.

Behavioral: System Constellation VR-Seminar

Experimental: System Constellation VR-Seminar (control group)

By externalising significant elements, systemic constellations render the inner image someone has of a personally important social system in a visible and tangible way to get more clarity about psycho-social conflicts to make goal-oriented changes. In this study, the method System Constellation will be applied in a Virtual Reality (VR) setting during two to three day seminars. Study participants randomized to this group receive the intervention (system constellations VR-seminar) 4 months after the experimental group.
