Very interesting..but the assessment logic just kinda rewords the answers back to you when it gives you the potential solutions..i.e are you having problems at work y/n..assessment evaluation: It seems your having problems at work..well mmmm..wonder how they came up with that answer..smile..

Ditto. The assessment was somewhat interesting, and I could see how it would be beneficial for someone who is trying to figure out if they need therapy or not. But as someone said - it's a bit discouraging to read "you need professional help" over and over in the final summary. It would be nice if you could say "yes, I'm already in therapy" and then it would say "and it's good that you're in therapy for this".

Also, when I tried to work on one of the problems it was completely unhelpful. I mean, it spits out generic "solution" componants that I didn't really find relevant, then it wants me to actually fill in the solution part. I kinda feel like if I knew what action to take, I wouldn't be having the problem!!!!

So, yeah, the initial assesment might be useful for someone considering therapy, or maybe if you had a very specific problem, for which you kinda had some solutions in mind but wasn't sure how to proceed - (whether or not to change jobs for example) it might be better than for a general "I'm bored & lonely".

Plus the whole nature of it is kinda cold. I don't think a computer will ever be able to generate compassion or genuine concern.
