This is not really how therapists work. It’s how it looks like they work.
This is a really big problem with the AI industry. People don’t know the domain well enough and assume it is a fit.
Oh look, just throw this at it and done. Simples!
Then you find that therapists, of the non quack variety at least, spend years working on how to remove bias from their assessment and learning subtle cues and indicators from their patients. And have to write in a certain prose and have to qualify their results with peers.
Ok I was actually joking. AI (up to this point - although the new OpenAI could probably do it), is not even close to being able to handle it. This was tongue in cheek and not meant to be taken seriously.
I am married to said therapist so I always joke with her.

Yep. This is painfully obvious in the medical world right now. Too many tech-only people assuming they can understand a domain in a few weeks and then run a business in it.
It would probably be easier to teach those domain experts the basics of AI and how to leverage it than teach developers the details of each domain. After all, it's not like asking them to train transformers from scratch, just how to use what is already built. It reminds me of a joke about the movie Armageddon and teaching astronauts to drill rather than drillers to go to space..
