Steering Emotional Dynamics for Art Therapy: Controllable Narrative Script Generation through Hierarchically Guided LLM Agents
arXiv:2606.16481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Art therapy plays a vital role in emotional healing, in which narrative creation acts as the primary vehicle for emotional expression. Given the inherently dynamic nature of emotions during healing, narratives with finely controlled emotional fluctuations enable individuals to safely project inner conflicts and achieve emotional catharsis. Recently, with the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), automated narrative generation technology has provided a new pathway to support such artistic designs. However, while existing methods can p
The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled new applications for automated content generation, making the development of emotionally nuanced narrative tools feasible for therapeutic use.
This development indicates a growing capability of AI to interact with and influence complex human emotional states, opening new avenues for mental health support and personalized therapy.
LLMs can now be guided to produce narratives with controlled emotional dynamics, transforming how emotional expression is facilitated in therapeutic settings.
