Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's Gemini hold immense potential to revolutionize behavioral healthcare. This paper explores the responsible development and evaluation of clinical LLMs in psychotherapy, addressing both the opportunities and risks associated with their integration. It provides a roadmap encompassing a technical overview, discussion of integration stages (paralleling autonomous vehicle development), potential applications, and recommendations for responsible development and evaluation, emphasizing clinical science, interdisciplinary collaboration, and addressing bias and risk.
