arXiv:2608. 04524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Synthetic generation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions is challenged by two competing demands: adhering to strict therapeutic structure while modeling the resistant, unpredictable behavior of real patients.
arXiv:2608. 12750v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based simulated clients are increasingly used to train novice counselors, evaluate LLM therapists, and generate synthetic data.
Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise in psychological counseling, yet existing benchmarks rely heavily on highly cooperative simulated clients. We observe a critical counselor-following phenomenon: these clients often rapidly shift from resistance to compliance after only a few turns, creating an illusion of therapeutic progress and inflating scores under current evaluation protocols through superficial empathy.
arXiv:2607. 02885v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides a structured framework for understanding a user's mental state by examining the interaction between cognitive and behavioral factors.
arXiv:2606. 30887v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models show promise for mental health support, yet therapeutic quality improves only when evaluation functions as an actionable control signal rather than a passive metric.
arXiv:2607. 25681v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cognitive distortion amplifies negative emotions and contributes to mental health disorders.
arXiv:2606. 15504v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In recent years, the advances of large language models and autonomous agents have revolutionized the healthcare field, facilitating diagnosis and improving treatment results.
arXiv:2607. 25667v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Psychotherapists need repeated training and supervision by experts; however, scalability is problematic.
arXiv:2608. 07499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The development and benchmarking of Large Language Model (LLM)-based Motivational Interviewing (MI) counsellors now often rely on LLM-based simulated clients.
arXiv:2607. 27304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical vision-language models (VLMs) generate chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning before answering clinical questions, but whether this reasoning causally influences predictions remains unclear.
arXiv:2605. 01101v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper develops Virtual Speech Therapist (VST), an intelligent agent-based platform that streamlines stuttering assessment and delivers customized therapy planning through automated and adaptive AI-driven workflows.
arXiv:2605. 09366v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transforming neuroimaging data into clinically actionable biomarkers is a knowledge-intensive and labor-intensive process.
arXiv:2509. 02594v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evaluating large language models (LLMs) on their ability to generate high-quality, accurate, situationally aware answers to clinical questions requires going beyond conventional benchmarks to assess how these systems behave in complex, high-stakes clinical scenarios.
