| Inhalt | The workshop is conducted by the external lecturer Charlotte Blease, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Participatory eHealth & Health Data Research Group, Department of Women's and Children's Health, Uppsala University (Sweden). Participants will critically examine the rapidly evolving integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in psychotherapy and mental health care. This course progresses through the entire research and adoption lifecycle: from conceptual justification and efficacy research to implementation challenges and profound ethical considerations. Students will explore topics including AI-assisted documentation (e.g., automated progress notes), AI as a supplemental intervention tool, the changing therapist-client relationship, and the sustainability of AI-augmented care models. A key focus will be on developing a critical, evidence-based framework for evaluating these technologies. Students are encouraged to share experiences, reflect on their own research's potential intersection with AI, and collaboratively address the novel challenges and opportunities this technology presents. |
| Lernziele | Learning objectives: Upon completion of this colloquium, students will be able to: 1. Critically analyze the theoretical justifications for adopting generative AI tools in various psychotherapeutic contexts. 2. Articulate a balanced overview of the potential benefits (e.g., efficiency, accessibility) and risks (e.g., bias, dehumanization) associated with AI in therapy. 3. Identify and evaluate the core ethical, regulatory, legal, and practical problems surrounding AI implementation, including privacy, accountability, and equity. 4. Develop and present a well-reasoned position on a specific AI-in-mental-health topic, integrating scientific evidence and ethical reasoning. 5. Foster collaboration by engaging in scholarly debate, respectfully challenging assumptions, and considering diverse perspectives on the future of therapy. |
