VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR THE WORK OF A PSYCHOLOGIST IN THE SECURITY AND DEFENSE SECTOR OF UKRAINE

Abstract

Virtual Reality Technology (VR) is becoming increasingly relevant in the context of psychologists' work, especially in wartime conditions. Military personnel and employees of the security and defense sector experience significant psychological strain due to stressful situations, traumatic experiences, and emotional tension. The use of VR technologies allows for the creation of controlled environments in which psychologists can effectively conduct therapy, helping the military adapt to new realities, reduce anxiety, and treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
