AI in Psychotherapy Clinical Guide for Therapists, Transference & Ethics (PDF + EPUB)

Seller's description

A clinical compendium on artificial intelligence and psychotherapy, written for psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors. 37 pages, instant digital download (PDF + EPUB).

More and more patients arrive in session having already talked to an AI system about what is hurting them. This volume neither dismisses the phenomenon nor chases it, and tries instead to think it through clinically.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE
• What listening actually does in session, and what a system trained to agree cannot replicate
• Structural sycophancy, or why a model optimised to be helpful and not to displease will by construction tend to agree, and why an important part of clinical work consists precisely in meeting something that does not agree with you
• How transference and countertransference shift when the patient addresses a system with no unconscious
• Setting and technique, from how to raise the topic in session to how to integrate digital tools without letting them replace the session
• Where the regulatory and ethical landscape stands, including health data and professional confidentiality
• Three composite clinical vignettes and an operational observation grid for the interview

Fourteen chapters of continuous prose, without filler. It is written from a psychodynamic frame but usable whatever your orientation.

WHAT YOU GET
• PDF, print-ready, 6 x 9 in, 37 pages
• EPUB with cover, table of contents and metadata (Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books)
• Instant download, no shipping

PLEASE NOTE
This is a digital product intended for continuing professional education. It does not replace clinical supervision, ongoing training or individual professional judgment. The clinical vignettes are fictional composites created for teaching purposes and do not describe real persons. Because of the nature of digital downloads, this listing is non-refundable once the files have been accessed.

If you would rather start from observation in session, the AI in Therapy Observation Grid is the practical companion to this volume, and AI Tools for Therapists covers your own use of these tools.

WHO WROTE IT
I'm Alberto Del Bove, a psychologist and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist trained in Rome, in private practice with adults. Everything in The Consulting Room is written and clinically reviewed by me, and most of it started as material I needed in my own sessions before it became something to share.

If you have a question before buying, or you want to know whether this fits the way you work, send me a message through Etsy and I will answer personally. If it turns out to be useful, a short review helps other clinicians find it.
