Verdict
While AI can assist with some therapeutic techniques and data analysis, the nuanced understanding and emotional intelligence required in family therapy make it difficult for AI to fully replace human therapists. The profession faces a moderate risk of substitution, particularly in more structured or administrative tasks.
