Mental health practitioners' attitudes to the implications of AI for therapy and service delivery
What does artificial intelligence mean for mental health services? Participants needed to explore the attitudes of mental health practitioners towards future technological innovations.
--
AI and technologies like virtual reality have the potential to influence many industries. Mental health is unique as the human relationship is so crucial to the healing process within therapy. Despite this, new technologies have already emerged. This is why we want to understand the attitudes of practitioners to AI and possible technological developments that could occur.
As well as giving your view on an exciting and important area, we hope taking part in our study will be enjoyable and will give you further insight into the different ways AI might develop and influence mental health services.
