A new research paper explores the limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) in applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles to affective reasoning. While LLMs demonstrate theoretical knowledge of CBT, they struggle to move beyond simple validation and reflection, failing to effectively implement techniques like Socratic questioning or offering alternative perspectives. Researchers developed a framework using Beck's Cognitive Conceptualization structure and SNOMED CT concepts, employing a Multiple Chain-of-Thought (MCoT) strategy to guide LLM responses. However, even with MCoT, the models showed minimal behavioral change, remaining biased towards validation and reflection, indicating that theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient for effective application.
