Plato-DCS
More than a decade after ELIZA 's debul, programmed logic for automatic teaching operations-dilemma counseling system was introduced as an interactive computer program to teach problem- solving siklls to clients. PLATO-DCS is based on the assumpion thet most problems can be considered dilemmas in which one must choose between twwo undesirable alternatives.
This computer counseling was as effective as standard counseling for dilemma type problems with a large sampel fo students. of course, failure to find a difference is not proof of effectiveness. In any case, many students preferred working with the computer to seeing a counselor. Unfortunately, study of this program was not systematically expanded beyond student samples in order to identify characteristics of clinical populations that would benefit.
The progress in the dialogue of ELIZA depended on the user, with the program reacting in as essentially passive manner by issuing prompts for the user to continue. PLATO-DCS brought into the discussion between computer- therapist and clienl a structure intended to organize to the target problem in a way that could lead to a solution . in part, thise approach to computerizing therapy was selectes because of conceptual difficulties in operationalizing terapeutic techniques. developments in cognitive- behavioral therapy for deprssion suggested ways that computers could more actively bring informationnal content , in addition to structuring exchanges, into the therapeutic dialogue.
