Detect Negative Thoughts

Detect that user mentioned some negative thought

The Negative Thought Detection feature is used to identify negative thoughts in a conversation.

Negative Thoughts detection is available in 🇺🇸 English, 🇨🇿 Czech, 🇩🇪 German, and 🇪🇸 Spanish dialogues

Accessing Detected Negative Thoughts

To access the detected negative thoughts in the user's conversation, you can use the Input class's negativeThought attribute.

Example:

val detectedThought = input.negativeThought

Enumerating Negative Thoughts

There are several types of negative thoughts that can be detected in the conversation. They are defined in the NegativeThought enumeration with the following values:

• ALL_OR_NOTHING_THINKING

• CATASTROPHIZATION

• MIND_READING_AND_FORTUNE_TELLING

• LABELING

• EMOTIONAL_REASONING

• OVERGENERALIZATION

• CONTROL_FALLACY

• MUSTS_SHOULDS

• SELF_CRITICISM

Example

val detectedThought = input.negativeThought

if (detectedThought != null) {
    when (detectedThought.value) {
        NegativeThought.ALL_OR_NOTHING_THINKING -> {
            // Handle All-or-Nothing Thinking
        }
        NegativeThought.CATASTROPHIZATION -> {
            // Handle Catastrophization
        }
        NegativeThought.MIND_READING_AND_FORTUNE_TELLING -> {
            // Handle Mind Reading and Fortune Telling
        }
        // ...
    }
}

In this example, we first check if a negative thought is detected in the user's conversation. If yes, we examine which type of negative thought it is and take appropriate action accordingly.
