Licensed psychologist here. A similar worksheet is often used in CT (cognitive therapy) to challange ones thoughts. The therapy is based on the works of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_T._Beck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_T._Beck among others. Brief description of CT by GPT-3:
"Cognitive therapy was first developed as a treatment for depression. Beck's theory was that depressed people think the way they do because they have certain beliefs about themselves, their world, and the way the world works. Beck believed that these negative thoughts can be changed by challenging them with rational responses until the person accepts them."
Reach out to a CT (or CBT) therapist if you need guidance on how to approach the methods and have them tailored to your needs.
- joshjdr 5y agoWhy reference GPT-3? Was there no other suitable or practical source available (e.g. dictionary, encyclopedia, textbook, WebMD, etc)? Was the output accurate (first try, no edits)? I’m just curious, as I doubt the citation as a source lends credibility to content itself, or the context in which it was provided (no offense intended—- perhaps I’m in the minority here).
- mkoryak 5y agomaybe because this is hacker news and GPT-3 is cool.
- nialse 5y agoYou're on to something here. ;) Being a psychologist and an engineer, AI is an intriguing subject and I'm amazed what GPT-3 can produce.
- nialse 5y agoGood question! Some time ago I got the chance to see what GPT-3 knew about psychology and psychological treatment. One of the subjects I let it confabulate about happened to be Cognitive Therapy. All though not perfect in any way, the descriptions are often quite good. I think this example is actually a first shot without edits. Aaron or Judith Becks works are good references otherwise if you want actual reference. From a research perspective I would start out at the reference below. Beck, A. T., & Dozois, D. J. (2011). Cognitive therapy: current status and future directions. Annual review of medicine, 62, 397-409.
