Efficacy and Experience of System Constellation Seminars in Virtual Reality (SYSCO-VR)

A Randomised Control Feasibility Study

Project overview

How effective are systemic constellations in virtual reality (VR)? Our randomised controlled feasibility study in a waiting control group design with subsequent intervention in a naturalistic setting investigates changes in psychological, system-related, interpersonal and general levels of functioning.

Our design is based on our previous study on family constellations in local reality and includes baseline data collection, two weeks, four, eight and twelve months after participation in a VR system constellation seminar.
