LLM Agents Simulate Psychological Counseling Dialogues

Researchers have developed a novel framework called Interactive Agents to simulate psychological counseling dialogues between LLMs. This system features a personalized client agent with consistent psychological traits and a counselor agent that follows a three-stage therapeutic model. Evaluations using automatic metrics and professional assessments indicate that the dialogues generated are therapeutically valid and comparable to human sessions, offering a scalable and privacy-preserving method for creating high-quality counseling data.
