Abstract
Aim
This perspective piece will consider utilising the concepts of positive psychology, specifically in terms of relationships through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for therapeutic intervention. We will provide an overview of positive psychology, consider how this can be applied in the therapeutic setting and how AI, and more currently artificial wisdom, can support this application.
Findings
Through an overview of existing research concerning the use of AI in therapeutic environments, it is evident that research is looking into this area with the prospect of supporting a more diverse client base, and it is an area therapists need to be aware of, and potential training in.
Discussion
The paper considers the future use of AI and artificial wisdom, providing potential insights into the direction of research in this area.
期刊介绍:
Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
