AI supports your work, it does not replace it

AI supports your work, it does not replace it

AI is a clinical assistant, not a clinician.

It can support you with:

• Documentation and session summaries

• Case conceptualization

• Treatment planning

• Clinical reflection

• Psychoeducation materials

• Client exercises and worksheets

AI can reduce repetitive work and support your clinical reasoning. Your expertise, therapeutic relationship, and professional responsibility remain essential.

Two principles guide responsible use:

1

Review everything

AI-generated content is a first draft. Always review, adapt, and personalize the output before using it clinically.

2

Protect client data

Only use approved clinical AI platforms for client information. Follow your organization’s privacy policies and applicable regulations. Never enter identifiable client information into general AI tools unless explicitly permitted.

How to write effective prompts

How to write effective prompts

A good prompt gives the AI enough direction to understand the role, the situation, and the exact help you want. The most useful prompts usually include these three parts:

Role

Who should the AI act as?

Example

“You are an experienced clinical psychologist specializing in trauma-focused therapy.”

Context

What information does the AI need to understand the situation?

Example

“The client is a 32-year-old experiencing panic symptoms after a car accident. They are currently in the assessment phase of treatment.”

Task

What do you want the AI to create or help with?

Example

“Create a structured case conceptualization based on this information.”

A basic formula you can use

Role + Context + Task

Using AI in WeMind

Using AI in WeMind

WeMind is designed for clinical practice and already understands the Role and Context, you only have to provide the task.

During a session:

• Activate the transcriber.

• Add your own clinical notes.

• Afterwards, use the AI assistant to structure and reflect on the information.

Because the relevant context is already available, you can focus mainly on the task.


Examples of Tasks:

• “Create a session summary.”

• “Generate a SOAP note.”

• “Draft a treatment plan.”

• “Create a case conceptualization.”

• “Suggest follow-up questions for the next session.”

AI throughout your clinical workflow

AI throughout your clinical workflow

Before a session: prepare efficiently

“Review the previous session information below and help me prepare for the next appointment.

Client information:

[Paste relevant notes]

Please identify:

• Important themes and patterns

• Progress made so far

• Areas that may need further exploration

• Missing information

• Five useful follow-up questions for the next session”

After a session: structure documentation

“Turn the following session notes into a professional clinical summary.

Session notes:

[Paste notes]

Please include:

• Main topics discussed

• Client’s emotional responses and observations

• Interventions used

• Client progress

• Important follow-up points

Keep the summary concise and suitable for a clinical record.”

As a clinical thinking partner

AI can help expand your thinking without replacing clinical judgment.

“Act as a clinical supervisor and help me reflect on this case.

Case information:

[Paste case formulation]

Please help me identify:

• Alternative hypotheses

• Possible maintaining factors

• Potential blind spots

• Additional questions I should consider

• Possible next steps in treatment”

Personalized therapy materials

Personalized therapy materials

AI can help create personalized:

• Psychoeducation

• Homework assignments

• Worksheets

• Client-friendly explanations

• Therapeutic exercises

• Imagery scripts

Example prompt

“Create a simple explanation of the fight-flight-freeze response for a client who experiences panic attacks. Use everyday language and include an example they can recognize from daily life.”

Personalized materials often feel more relevant because they connect to the client’s own experiences.

Copyable AI prompts for daily clinical practice

Copyable AI prompts for daily clinical practice

Intake report

“Create a structured intake report based on the information below.

Client information:

[Paste information]


Include:

• Presenting concerns

• Relevant history

• Current symptoms

• Impact on daily functioning

• Risk factors

• Protective factors

• Relevant clinical observations

• Areas requiring further assessment

Write in professional clinical language.”

Case conceptualization

“Create a clinical case conceptualization based on the information below.

Client information:

[Paste information]


Please structure it using:

• Presenting problems

• Relevant developmental and life history

• Triggering events

• Vulnerability factors

• Maintaining factors

• Protective factors

• Possible underlying mechanisms

• Diagnostic considerations (without making a definitive diagnosis)

• Suggested treatment focus

Keep the formulation clinically grounded and concise.”

Treatment plan

“Help me draft a treatment plan based on this case.

Client information:

[Paste information]


Include:

• Main treatment goals

• Specific objectives

• Possible interventions

• How progress could be monitored

• Factors that may support or hinder treatment”

Clinical reflection

“Act as a clinical supervisor.

Review this case:

[Paste case information]


Help me reflect on:

• Alternative ways of understanding this case

• Possible blind spots

• Questions I should explore further

• How my therapeutic approach could be adjusted”

Psychoeducation material

“Create a client-friendly explanation about [topic].

The client is:

[Age and relevant background]


The goal is:

[Explain a concept / prepare for an intervention / support homework]

Use simple language, avoid clinical jargon, and include an example from everyday life.”

Using AI-generated visual materials in therapy

Using AI-generated visual materials in therapy

AI-generated visuals can support therapy when they are used carefully, clinically, and with a clear purpose.

Useful visual materials include:

• Psychoeducation illustrations

• Metaphors and visual explanations

• Personalized therapeutic exercises and coping visuals

For exposure-related work, AI can help prepare neutral, clinically appropriate visual materials.

Example prompt

“Create a realistic image of [single everyday situation]. The scene should show [specific details relevant to the client’s difficulty] in a calm and neutral way. The image will be used to support exposure work in therapy.”
