Abstract:
We describe a memory-based system for psychotherapy, Dr. Bob, built to run on the data parallel processor Thinking Machines, Inc., CM-2a Connection Machine. The system retrieves, in parallel, stories of alcohol addiction and sexual abuse which can be used by psychiatrists in working with their patients as part of their work in recovering from addictive behavior and psychological trauma. The program is written in *LISP (pronounced Star LISP), a version of LISP used in programming Connection Machines.
