Abstract

In recent years, large language models have shown substantial potential in psychological support tasks. However, existing psychological counseling data mostly rely on single-turn question answering or short multi-turn dialogues, making it difficult to characterize how college students' psychological distress accumulates, interacts, and gradually evolves over long periods within campus life events. To address this issue, this paper proposes Psy-Chronicle, a structured data-generation framework for synthesizing long-horizon campus psychological counseling dialogues. We generate a semester-spanning temporal stress event graph to model the chronological order and evolutionary dependencies among campus stress events. Through interactive simulation between a student agent and a counselor agent, together with a structured memory integration mechanism, Psy-Chronicle generates long-horizon dialogues with continuity across counseling sessions. Based on Psy-Chronicle, we construct and open-source CPCD, a Chinese long-horizon dialogue dataset for college psychological counseling, containing 100 student profiles, 90,000 counseling dialogues. We further build CPCD-Bench to evaluate models' long-horizon campus counseling capabilities from three dimensions: session-level response, long-horizon memory recall, and temporal-causal reasoning. Experimental results show that CPCD effectively improves session-level response generation and long-horizon memory recall for models with the same base architecture. Meanwhile, improvements in temporal-causal reasoning remain limited, indicating that event-chain organization and causal explanation are key challenges in long-horizon psychological counseling modeling.
