New paper in CPsy 📢 - from Mostafa Abdou, @raziasahi.bsky.social, Thomas Hull, @eriknook.bsky.social and @nathanieldaw.bsky.social - cpsyjournal.org/articles/10....

Really pleased with how this turned out, giving new insight into the linguistics of therapy: Found that LLMs estimate psychological distance better than dictionary-based methods used in prior work (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...), also finding that therapists who *encourage* distance fare better
