Psychotherapists Define Trust Limits For GenAI

This qualitative study (Kuang et al.) interviews 18 U.S. psychotherapists between January and May 2025 about their experiences and trust in generative AI in clinical practice. Participants reported that trust is sustained when GenAI supports clinician-supervised, low-stakes tasks (documentation, brainstorming) but erodes for high-stakes clinical judgment or when it threatens the therapeutic relationship. Authors call for design, organizational, and policy frameworks to preserve clinician control and relational primacy.
Scoring Rationale
Peer-reviewed JMIR qualitative study provides timely, credible insights into psychotherapy-specific GenAI trust dynamics. Scored for strong credibility and relevance, moderate novelty and scope, and limited actionability due to small qualitative sample; timeliness and journal authority slightly raised the score.
