Abstract
Virtual reality can be more effective and less burdensome than real-life exposure. Optimal virtual reality delivery should incorporate <i>in situ</i> direct dialogues with a therapist, discourage safety behaviours, allow for a mismatch between virtual and real exposure tasks, and encourage self-directed real-life practice between and beyond virtual reality sessions.
