AVATAR therapy is a novel relational approach to working with distressing voices by engaging individuals in direct dialogue with a digital representation of their persecutory voice (the avatar). Critical to this approach is the avatar transition from abusive to conciliatory during the course of therapy. To date, no observational study has examined the moment-to-moment dialogical exchanges of this innovative therapy. We aim to (1) map relating behaviours between participants and their created avatars and (2) examine therapeutic actions delivered within AVATAR dialogue.

在 AVATAR 治疗对话中将行为和治疗行为联系起来：一项观察性研究

AVATAR 疗法是一种新颖的关系方法，通过让个人与其受迫害的声音（化身）的数字表示直接对话，来处理令人痛苦的声音。这种方法的关键是在治疗过程中从虐待到安抚的化身转变。迄今为止，还没有观察性研究检查过这种创新疗法的即时对话交流。我们的目标是 (1) 绘制参与者与其创建的化身之间的相关行为，以及 (2) 检查在 AVATAR 对话中提供的治疗行为。
