| Challenge: | Psychotherapy can help people overcome negative thoughts by replacing them with a more hopeful "reframed thought" but clinician shortages and mental health stigma often limit access to therapy. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework of seven linguistic attributes that can be used to reframe a thought . they use a retrieval-enhanced in-context learning model to generate reframed thoughts . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on a human-centered study of 600 situations, thoughts and reframes on 2,000 mental health websites. |
