Abstract

Psychotherapy is an expert activity requiring continuous decision-making and continuous evaluation of the course of the psychotherapeutic process by the psychotherapist. In practice, however, psychotherapists suffer from a lack of immediate feedback to support this decision. The project aims to create a tool that enables automated analysis of audio recordings of psychotherapeutic sessions to provide psychotherapists feedback on the course in a short time. The project is designed in cooperation with Brno University of Technology and Masaryk University and is based on technologies of automatic speech recognition, natural language computer processing, machine learning, expert coding of psychotherapeutic process and self-assessment questionnaire methods. Its expected outcome will be software providing psychotherapists with user-friendly and practically beneficial feedback with the potential to improve psychotherapeutic care.
