ABSTRACT
Avatar Therapy (AT) is a modern therapeutic alternative for patients with schizophrenia suffering from persistent auditory verbal hallucinations. Its intrinsic therapeutical process is currently qualitatively analyzed via human coders that annotate session transcripts. This process is time and resource demanding. This creates a need to find potential algorithms that can operate on small datasets and perform such annotations. The first objective of this study is to conduct the automated text classification of interactions in AT and the second objective is to assess if this classification is comparable to the classification done by human coders. A Linear Support Vector Classifier was implemented to perform automated theme classifications on Avatar Therapy session transcripts with the use of a limited dataset with an accuracy of 66.02% and substantial classification agreement of 0.647. These results open the door to additional research such as predicting the outcome of a therapy.
