NLP Resources for the Analysis of Patient/Therapist Interviews

We present a set of tools and resources for the analysis of interviews during psychotherapy sessions. One of the main components of the work is a dictionary-based text interpretation tool for the Spanish language. The tool is designed to identify a subset of Freudian drives in patient and therapist discourse.
