contents Psychotherapy delivery relies on a negotiation between patient self-reports and clinical intuition. Growing evidence for technological support of psychotherapy suggests opportunities to aid the mediation of this tension. To explore this prospect, we designed a prototype of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for treating veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder in a Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy intensive outpatient program. We conducted a two-phase interview study to collect perspectives from practicing PE clinicians and former PE patients who are United States veterans. Our analysis distills opportunities for a CDSS (e.g., offering homework review at a glance, aiding patient conceptualization) and larger challenges related to context and deployment (e.g., navigating Veterans Affairs). By reframing our findings through three human-centered perspectives (distributed cognition, situated learning, infrastructural inversion), we highlight the complexities of designing a CDSS for psychotherapists in this context and offer theory-aligned design considerations.
