AI training for psychologists

AI doesn’t conduct a clinical interview or make a diagnosis. It helps you write your psychoeducation handouts, dictate your reports, keep up with research, and prepare your groups. Nothing a person confides in you goes into an online assistant.

Claude for psychologists: write a psychoeducation handout, step by step

  • 15 min
  • every month

What to check

The handout is about a topic, never about a person: no name and no detail from anyone’s care in the conversation. You approve every sentence; it is your responsibility. An assistant can state something false with confidence.

Write a psychoeducation handoutClaude · Word file, in the conversation
  1. Write down or dictate what you usually explain on the topic, in your own words and images. No patient data is needed.
  2. In Claude, paste the prompt below, followed by your notes.
  3. Reread each sentence as if you were saying it in session, and fix anything that doesn’t sound like you.
  4. Ask: “Give me a one-page Word file,” then add your contact details and the emergency numbers you usually give.

The prompt to copy

You are helping me format a psychoeducation handout that I give to the people I see, as a psychologist. Topic: [sleep, panic attacks, rumination, emotions in children]. Audience: [adults, teenagers, parents]. Here is what I explain in session, in my own words: [your notes]. Write one page: what is happening, in plain words, why it is an understandable reaction, three things to try this week, and when to bring it up with me again. Short sentences, a warm and respectful tone, no jargon. Do not add any advice, number, or technique that I did not give. Do not mention diagnosis or medication.

Ground rules

The rules to follow with AI in this job

Always do this

  • Confidentiality and the code of ethics: nothing a person confides in you goes into a consumer tool. No name, no session notes, no report, no message received.
  • AI doesn’t conduct a clinical interview, make a diagnosis, or interpret an assessment. It formats what you observed and decided: you draw the conclusions and you sign.
  • A professional document is dictated with a model that runs on your computer, not online.
  • A study is not a course of action: read the paper, and weigh it against the guidelines and what the person in front of you is going through.

Never hand this to AI

  • Describing a session or a situation to it to ask for a hypothesis, a diagnosis, or what to do next.
  • Uploading notes, a report, a completed test protocol, or a test manual to an online tool.
  • Having it write the conclusion of an assessment or a certificate: these documents are your responsibility and are written by you.
