Abstract

ABSTRACT Digital technology has a ubiquitous presence in psychotherapy. While we recognize itsimmediate impact on our work, we are less attuned to its symbolic—yet highlyconsequential—implications for our field, much less its penetrating grip on the human psyche.The eight papers to follow offer us a beginning blueprint that invites us to revisit and re-calibrateour conception of psychotherapy in the digital age. They identify limitations and potentialbenefits of relating through the screen across multiple theoretical, clinical and training contexts,including a commentary on AI and the future of our field. Rather than shrinking ourselves toadjust to the screen’s limits, we need to expand our understanding of its impact both inside andoutside of the therapeutic context.
