This paper describes the result of a discussion in a working group and a plenary discussion at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Novel approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. Several technological challenges are presented for the basic functions of a VRET system. Most challenges are demand driven and focussing on better ways to support the therapist, for better and more efficient treatment. Tele-care is one of the most promising but difficult challenges. The results give directions for both fundamental and practical research.
