Abstract

This theoretical study addresses artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in psychology, focusing on how these advanced technologies can enhance diagnosis and psychotherapy. Furthermore, it explores the benefits and limitations associated with the use of AI in psychological practices, offering a theoretical framework on how these technologies can integrate with traditional psychotherapy. The study relies on a comprehensive review of scientific literature and previous studies in this field to identify AI capabilities and the significant advancements it offers for psychology and psychotherapy environments. Additionally, the study analyzes relevant literature discussing AI's role in diagnosis and treatment, along with examining research gaps that may impact the successful implementation of these technologies. A set of recommendations is provided, including the necessity of integrating AI with human practices and emphasizing the importance of professional training in using these technologies. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential role of AI in improving psychotherapy while promoting the integration between technology and human therapists.
