Patient experience and psychologists' attitudes toward AI in psychological treatment: A topic-modeling study
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is entering psychological treatment, yet research remains dominated by symptom outcome trials, leaving two questions under-researched: how patients experience AI therapy tools, and how psychologists regard the AI applications they may be asked to adopt. We applied topic modeling (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) to two Swedish-language corpora to contrast lived use with anticipated use. The first corpus comprised interview data from 11 patients who had engaged with a conversat…

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1577 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
