Abstract

Recent years have seen a sharply rising interest in the scientific area dedicated to the study of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) research and applications (AI4CBT for brevity). Yet, little is known about how this interest is realized and hence the overall status, prospects, and possible challenges of AI4CBT as a field (e.g. breadth of the field, key topics and methods, key producing countries/institutions/authors, interdisciplinary grounding). This paper addresses this gap by developing a broad-spectrum bibliometric analysis towards acquiring a comprehensive overview of the AI4CBT field. Four key dimensions are analyzed (productivity, producers, productions, and contents) along the array of bibliographic metrics, including production trends over time, leading contributors at various levels, co-authorship, citation, and keywords co-occurrence networks, publication formats, key venues, methodological trends, and disciplinary assessment. The paper concludes by framing the status of AI4CBT as a scientific field, allowing to tie it to scientific and applicative challenges and opportunities that AI4CBT may encounter and offer as it further develops.

认知行为治疗中人工智能的兴起：文献计量学综述

近年来，人们对人工智能（AI）用于认知行为治疗（CBT）研究和应用（简称AI4CBT）的科学领域的兴趣急剧上升。然而，很少有人知道这种兴趣是如何实现的，因此AI4CBT作为一个领域的总体状况、前景和可能的挑战（例如，领域的广度、关键主题和方法、主要生产国/机构/作者、跨学科基础）。本文通过开发广谱文献计量学分析来解决这一差距，以获得AI4CBT领域的全面概述。本文分析了四个关键维度（生产力、生产者、产品和内容），以及一系列书目指标，包括随时间推移的生产趋势、不同层次的主要贡献者、合著者、引文和关键词共现网络、出版格式、关键场所、方法趋势和学科评估。本文的结论是将AI4CBT作为一个科学领域，将其与AI4CBT在进一步发展中可能遇到的科学和应用挑战和机遇联系起来。
