Summary

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet are testing a program called YourSkills for children aged 10 to 16 who have elevated anger or disruptive behaviors. The program combines cognitive behavioral therapy with virtual reality role-plays to practice social skills. Children attend ten individual sessions at clinics, and parents and children answer questionnaires before, during, and after treatment. The study also interviews families and therapists about their experiences.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cognitive behavioral therapy with virtual reality role-plays
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to help children with anger and aggressive behavior practice social skills in a safe, controlled setting.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 5 children, so results may not hold up in larger trials. VR therapy may not appeal to all children or fit every clinic.
