This summer, the University Center for Psychiatry (UCP) will start 
using virtual reality to treat psychotic patients with symptoms of 
paranoia and social anxiety. The patients concerned will be carefully 
exposed to a controlled virtual environment. The UCP, part of the 
UMCG, is collaborating with the Parnassia Groep from The Hague and 
CleVR, a company from Delft that has created four virtual worlds for 
the purposes of the research. The treatment is new in the 
Netherlands; this is the first time that psychotic patients have been 
treated in a virtual reality environment.
