Objective Given the importance of emotions in psychotherapy, valid measures are essential for research and practice. As expressed at different levels, multimodal measurements needed a nuanced assessment. Natural Language Processing (NLP) could augment measurement emotions. The study explores validity sentiment analysis psychotherapy transcripts.
In this paper, we present the conceptual background and clinical implications of a research-based transtheoretical treatment training model (4TM).
Traditional rating scales have shaped psychological research, but are resource-intensive and can burden participants. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a tool to assess latent constructs in text. This study introduces LLM scales, method that uses responses instead of human ratings. Its application is demonstrated based on the development validation an scale measuring patient engagement transcripts therapies. Automatically transcribed videos 1,131 sessions from 155 patients were analyzed...
Zusammenfassung Klinische Basisfertigkeiten, wie empathische Kommunikation, sind in jeder therapeutischen Sitzung unabhängig vom theoretischen Ansatz und der Diagnose von Patient:innen zentral. Sie sollten daher bereits zu Beginn psychotherapeutischen Aus- Weiterbildung gefördert werden. Diese Studie untersucht verschiedene Facetten klinischer Basisfertigkeiten deren Entwicklung im Verlauf Ausbildung. Die Stichprobe umfasste 59 zukünftige Therapeut:innen, die sich auf drei unterschiedliche...
For the first time, ICD-11 provides diagnosis compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) that can be assigned for pornography use (PUD). This study aimed to estimate prevalence of PUD and associated consequences in Germany, identify psychotherapy demand among likely (lPUD) cases treatment supply different psychotherapeutic settings, survey psychotherapists' level expertise regarding PUD, predictors demand.Four studies were conducted: 1. Online general population (n = 2070; m 48.9%, f 50.8%,...
Although psychotherapy has shown to be effective for most patients, about one-third of patients do not benefit or deteriorate during treatment. Technical progress allowed the integration routine outcome monitoring (ROM) into treatment, helping therapists detect at risk a nonresponse poor early on. Psychological therapy can enhanced by providing with individual treatment recommendations these at-risk patients. One example such comprehensive feedback system is Trier Treatment Navigator...
Abstract Outcome measurement including data-informed decision support for therapists in psychological therapy has developed impressively over the past two decades. New technological developments such as computerized data assessment, and feedback tools have facilitated advanced implementation several seetings. Recent try to improve clinical decision-making process by connecting practice better with empirical data. For example, psychometric can be used clinicians personalize selection of...
To train novice students adequately, it is crucial to understand where they start and how develop their skills. This study examined the impact of students’ characteristics on initial clinical micro-skills when treating simulated patients with cognitive behavior therapy. The sample consisted 44 graduate psychology seven patients. Clinical were measured both using video-based ratings in reaction short video clips (via Facilitative Interpersonal Skills (FIS) performance task) by within a...

Abstract Background Based on previous work the identification of cognitive distortions in language data, we aim to predict patient depression symptoms by identifying their psychotherapy transcripts. Further, using explainable AI want create a machine learning model that can be used identify important distortions, allowing us assess most across whole dataset and for individual patients. Methods We identified 14 modifying lists representative n-grams created Bathina et al. (Nat Hum Behav...
The therapist effect has been demonstrated in various studies. However, studies on putative characteristics show heterogeneous results. Although the majority of have solely examined effects between therapists, a growing interest within therapists emerged. it remains unclear whether are rather state-like than trait-like phenomenon. main aim present study is to test clinical microskills as well correct application techniques and strategies (both therapists) predict across-session change...
Objectives: We aim to use topic modeling, an approach for discovering clusters of related words (“topics”), predict symptom severity, therapeutic alliance, and depression diagnosis in psychotherapy transcripts, while also identifying the most important topics overarching themes prediction.Methods: analyzed 552 transcripts from 124 patients. Using BERTopic (Grootendorst, 2022), we extracted 250 each patient therapist speech. These were used with various competing machine-learning methods....
The current article presents a way of practising case formulation using technology augmentation in the context data-informed psychotherapy. First, we explain how guides decision-making processes psychotherapy and decisions made under an intuitive clinical judgement can be biased. use actuarial methods is pointed out as addressing these biases, mainly through decision support systems based on statistical tools machine learning algorithms. We present Trier Treatment Navigator (TTN), system...
Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: In der Ausbildung von Psychotherapeutinnen konnte bereits ein subjektiver Kompetenzgewinn durch die Arbeit mit Simulationspatientinnen (SP) belegt werden. Fragestellung: Neben Replikation dieser Befunde, welche auf Selbstberichten basieren, untersuchte vorliegende Studie objektive Behandlungsintegrität Studierenden anhand Beobachterratings. Methode: Die Stichprobe setzte sich aus 39 4 Fallseminaren zusammen. Zur Validierung objektiven wurde eine...
