Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence in Positive and Existential Psychiatry: Advancing Mental and Emotional Health Through Metacompetency Development
Overview
This systematic review synthesizes evidence from 24 randomized controlled trials published between 2015 and 2025 regarding AI-based interventions in positive and existential psychiatry. The authors examine whether these technologies, including chatbots and embodied agents, enhance self-regulatory metacompetencies such as emotional regulation and self-reflection to improve mental health outcomes. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and well-being-focused psychiatric approaches.
