Development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Application for Psychology and Art Therapy

Recent trends for psychology, art therapy, and artificial intelligence (AI) would be described with some perspectives. Art therapy support using generative AI has attracted attention. Clinical introduction of AI offers various new benefits and creative possibilities, such as expanding the diversity of expression, enabling the quantification of various factors through automated analysis, and improving access. The impact of AI-generated images shows clients’ projective/transference relationships, their effects on self-efficacy/intrinsic motivation, and the amplification of bias in therapists’ clinical judgments. Integrated approach would be required, where a balance is maintained between the core elements of subjectivity of expression and the therapeutic relationship.
