Psychology and Counseling in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

488 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Psychology and counseling are undergoing significant transformation as digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and online forms of communication reshape how people seek support, access mental health services, and engage in learning and personal development. These changes are influencing not only the tools used by practitioners, but also broader understandings of wellbeing, therapeutic relationships, human connection, and psychological care. While much of the current discussion focuses on the opportunities or risks associated with specific technologies, there is a growing need for a more comprehensive examination of how the fields of psychology and counseling are evolving in response to rapid technological change. Understanding this evolution requires looking beyond individual innovations to consider how traditional practices, professional values, and human-centered approaches can be maintained and strengthened in increasingly digital environments. As technology continues to shape the future of mental health and counseling, exploring the balance between innovation and human connection has become more important than ever. Psychology and Counseling in the Age of Artificial Intelligence examines AI within the broader historical, ethical, educational, and professional evolution of the helping professions. Rather than viewing artificial intelligence as a replacement for psychologists or counselors, the book explores how emerging technologies are reshaping professional practice, influencing service delivery, and challenging traditional understandings of care and human interaction. Covering topics such as AI dependence and loneliness, AI-augmented preventative stress support, and migrant trauma, this book is an indispensable academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, psychologists, counselors, therapists, mental health practitioners, mental health administrators, healthcare leaders, technology developers, policymakers, and more.
