3 Ethics Ceu's Package, Jenny Perkel - Clinical Psychologist and Author
This presentation, accredited for 3 Ethics CPD points, examines the ethical implications of AI use in mental health, with a particular focus on the use of AI chatbots for life-advice. The talk explores how patients are turning to AI chatbots for emotional support, therapy-like conversations, and crisis help - often in ways that bypass a real mental health professional or psychotherapist entirely.
Drawing on mostly psychoanalytically-informed, evidence-based, peer-reviewed research, the talk explores both the benefits and the limitations and significant risks of AI chatbot psychotherapy.
