Recent advancements in conversational AI are transforming the reflective practices of clinical psychologists, allowing for a more nuanced approach to complex cases. Traditionally, clinicians engage in solitary reflection after patient sessions, which can limit the diversity of perspectives considered when addressing challenging questions. This solitary process, while essential, often constrains a therapist’s ability to explore alternative explanations and solutions.
As a practicing clinical psychologist, I have integrated a conversational AI tool into my reflective work over the past year. This tool aids in reviewing published case material and facilitates consultations, providing an external perspective that enriches my analytical process. My objective has been to determine whether my clinical reasoning had become overly focused on a singular viewpoint. The implications of such technology in clinical psychology could lead to more comprehensive understanding and improved patient outcomes, as practitioners leverage AI to expand their analytical frameworks.
