摘要

虛擬實境近年已廣泛應用在諮商輔導與心理治療領域，然實證研究仍在起步階段，本研究以Scopus資料庫中713篇期刊為研究對象，應用文獻計量分析法探討虛擬實境在心理治療與諮商輔導領域的變化趨勢與重要議題。研究結果發現近五年發表量呈現快速增長的趨勢，從高產出版品與作者排序中，可瞭解國外重要學者與其投稿期刊的發展，這些先鋒作者研究貢獻重大且具有廣泛且跨領域影響。以美國研究為大宗，研究學者間多為跨領域合作，並成立專門研究中心，顯示出將虛擬實境的運用已是一項很普遍的技術。其次，高被引文獻分析結果顯示作為一種新興科技療法，虛擬實境透過情境沈浸感來引發個案的情緒，提高認知功能與技巧訓練方式，結合暴露療法與藥物治療，更可以提升治療效果。第三，透過網路結構分析結果顯示，研究熱點其一為精神相關疾病，如焦慮症與憂鬱症，與目前世界趨勢與熱門議題高度相關。其二則為遠距醫療等未來潛在型主題，最後提出對我國軍事心輔工作之借鏡與展望。

Virtual reality has been widely applied in the field of counseling and psychotherapy in recent years, yet empirical research is still in infancy. Thus, a bibliometric review of 713 studies retrieved from the Scopus database are examined to see the changing trends and important issues of virtual reality in the field of psychotherapy and counseling. Results show publications have increased rapidly in the past five years, with prolific publications and pioneering authors showing major research contributions and their broad and cross-disciplinary impact, particularly with research centers in the United States. Next, highly cited literature analysis indicates that through contextual immersion, virtual reality may trigger client emotions, improve cognitive function, skill training, and enhance therapeutic effect with exposure and drug therapy. In addition, network structure analysis shows research hotspots concentrated on psychiatric-related disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as potential future topics such as telemedicine. Finally, practical implications and prospects of military psychological counseling are discussed.
