About This Webinar

A critical examination of AI risks in psychological assessment

In a world rushing to automate everything, many psychological tools have embraced generative AI without the safeguards or structures required for clinical use. These tools often generate paragraph-shaped content that feels polished but lacks clinical grounding.

This webinar, led by the PsychAssist team, explores the risk of off-the-shelf AI systems in mental health documentation. We walk through how report writers can strip context, hallucinate confidently, and damage clinical trust when used without judgment or oversight.

We also demonstrate how PsychAssist was purpose-built to preserve the structure, voice, and nuance of licensed assessment psychologists — not override it. If you're tired of tools that sound impressive but leave you legally exposed or ethically uncomfortable, this session is for you.

Key Takeaways

Essential insights for every assessment psychologist

Polished output isn't the same as professional output

Context loss leads to clinical distortion

You are liable for every word in a report, even if AI wrote it

Most tools shortcut judgment in favor of generic confidence

PsychAssist protects the integrity of your voice and logic

Dr. Chris Barnes
“Generic AI outputs create the illusion of insight — but they don't hold up under scrutiny. That's a problem if you're the one signing the report.”
