The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of system constellations in Virtual Reality (VR) in a monocentric, single-masked randomized controlled trial.
The method of system constellations refers to an approach which integrates ideas from organizational and family systems counseling with elements from psychodrama. The constellations are conducted in a group based VR-seminar, each VR-seminar lasting two to three days.
Based on the model of a general mental health, the effects of system constellations in VR on psychological and systems functioning are explored.
It is predicted that participation in a system constellation VR-seminar changes the level of psychological and systems functioning at 4 months.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| System Constellation VR-Seminar (exp. group) | Experimental | By externalising significant elements, systemic constellations render the inner image someone has of a personally important social system in a visible and tangible way to get more clarity about psycho-social conflicts to make goal-oriented changes. In this study, the method System Constellation will be applied in a Virtual Reality (VR) setting during two to three day seminars. |

The FEP-2, 40-item self report questionnaire, measures psychological distress according to the phase model of therapeutic change as well as the interpersonal model of psychological distress. |
| Baseline, 2 weeks after treatment, 4 months after treatment |
| Bern Inventory of Psychotherapy Goals (BIT-C) | Goal achievement will be assessed using Goal Attainment Scaling as a method for the assimilation of achievement in a number of individually set goals into a single aggregated 'goal attainment score', providing a person-centred outcome, focused on that individual's priorities. Goal attainment scaling is operationalized by an open-ended question, in which study participants descriobe their individual goals. In a second step these goals will be coded according to the Bern inventory of psychotherapy goals (BIT-C) | Baseline, 2 weeks after treatment, 4 months after treatment |
| Incongruence Questionnaire (K-INK) | Motivational incongruence is defined as the unsatisfactory realization of motivational goals and is based on the concept of General Psychotherapy by Klaus Grawe. The Incongruence Questionnaire (INK) is an instrument that assesses motivational incongruence, defined as the discrepancy between a person's motivational goals and his/her perception of reality. The short version of this questionnaire that will be used in our study (K-INK) comprises 23 items. | Baseline, 2 weeks after treatment, 4 months after treatment |
