TherapyTrainer

Project Team: Debra Kaysen (PI), Shannon Wiltsey Stirman, Stefanie LoSavio, Christine Bird, Sohayla Elhusseini

Development Team: Betsy Stade, Sam Campiogne, Maria Martin Lopez, Shreya Singhvi, Tony Bui, William Xuan, Andy Schwartz 

This project aims to refine and test a therapist-facing generative artificial intelligence (AI)-based simulation and feedback tool, Therapy Trainer, to support therapists who are learning Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for PTSD. We are working with therapists from our partner networks to refine Therapy Trainer. Next we will compare Therapy Trainer plus a WET training workshop  to standard training strategies of a workshop alone or a workshop with expert case consultation in a fully powered randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether using Therapy Trainer improves therapist skills with delivering WET and patient outcomes of PTSD, depression, and functioning, among other outcomes.
