Caroline's Dissertation was titled:

CLASSIFYING PSYCHOPATHOLOGY IN CLINICAL PRACTICE: DO DIAGNOSIS AND TAXONOMY MATTER TO CLIENTS?

Really interesting findings that we hope will be ready to share for publication in the near future.

Congratulations on your wonderful work, Caroline!

Thanks, Don! I appreciate your support!

Ughh. That's horribly sad. Exactly why any therapy bot will have to be able to assess suicidality and be able to get in contact with local authorities for wellness checks.

Right. What we are seeing now is more akin to coaching at this point. Maybe ultimately the consumers (or even 3rd party payers) decide that is enough, but I don't think those will be considered therapy in the sense of what is provided by licensed therapists. We'll see!

Point is that therapists are licensed providers of health care, will states license a bot? I think it's ultimately more likely that AI "therapist" is a medical device, that is used under direct supervision of human health care provider, not a standalone provider.

Those are interesting applications and have some similarities and differences to a therapist. If a chatbot does identify suicidal ideation, are they mandated to intervene, including to seek hospitalization for the patient? If they have duty to warn and duty to report, does it change how we share?

What is your background in psychotherapy? Teaching humans to be good therapists is hard and complex. As of yet I think chatbots are good at putting together relevant sentences, but I'll be curious how they ultimately pick up nuances in meaning and decide when to challenge vs support.

Agree with others. I'm more optimistic that AI will eventually be quite helpful for diagnosis in collecting comprehensive and relevant data to inform the clinician.

If/when AI replaces human clinicians for psychotherapy, it will be among the last domains it conquers.

That said, the peer review process is strained and so finding reviewers can be tough. Im guessingthats the negative you hear. If you like the content of the journal and know people in the field this helps tremendously in finding the right people and getting them to say yes!

Highly worth serving as an AE, assuming the journal is respected in your field.

1) looks good for promotion
2) visibility in your field
3) ability to see and shape the literature

important considerations:
A) Is there a contract? Usually specifies # of manuscripts to handle and provides $

I first heard Aidan use it and I had no idea to what he was referring.

I told him that no matter how hard he tries, he's not making Fetch happen.

You're in my starter pack and you can definitely sit with me!

Agree, Don! We have a great team!

Thanks, David!

The single best personality predictor in occupational settings is conscientiousness. C tends higher in women (for sure facets such as order and self-discipline). This has been used to explain why women perform better academically. Not sure I see the bias toward men (www.minnpost.com/second-opini...)
