Real Feeling and Fictional Time in Human-AI Interactions

As technology improves, artificial systems are increasingly able to behave in human-like ways: holding a conversation; providing information, advice, and support; or taking on the role of therapist, teacher, or counsellor. This enhanced behavioural complexity, we argue, encourages deeper forms of affective engagement on the part of the human user, with the artificial agent helping to stabilise, subdue, prolong, or intensify a person’s emotional condition. Here, we defend a fictionalist account of human/AI interaction, according to which these encounters involve an elaborate practise of imaginative pretence: a make-believe in which the artificial agent is attributed a life of its own. We attend, specifically, to the temporal characteristics of these fictions, and to what we imagine artificial agents are doing when we are not looking at them.

Mobile applications (apps) as service provider actors

AbstractContextualized in health care service, the authors contribute to service experience theory and practice in three important ways. First, by means of qualitative interviews with patients and health care providers (clinicians and professionals), the authors empirically show that digital technology (mobile application—“app” with its companion portal) can perform the roles of a service provider in health care experiences, identifying six key roles. Second, the authors illustrate how apps, as service providers, can potentially transform the health care experience, influencing the roles and forms of interactions with other actors in the service ecosystem. Third, a typology of roles and key functions highlighting interactions and impact of the app and portal on the health care experience is developed. Drawing on institutional logics and role theory, this article aims to provide new insights into service provider roles that are not confined solely to humans. Our goal is to show that apps can undertake a range of roles to enrich interactions and potentially enhance the health care experience. First, the authors provide evidence that an app can perform the roles of connector, coordinator, counselor, enabler, instructor, and watchperson, impacting on the roles of others in the service ecosystem and the health care experience. Then, guidelines to assist organizations in designing a service using an app as a service provider are offered, together with an agenda to guide future research.

The failure to build an environment that is focused on student mental health will continue to affect the goal to improve overall school safety.

Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Tests and Canadian Genetic Counselors: A Pilot Exploration of Professional Roles in Response to Novel Biotechnologies.

The role of genetic counselors is evolving in response to health-related direct-to-consumer genetic tests (DTC-GT). While there is consensus in the literature that pre- and post-DTC-GT genetic counseling would benefit consumers, genetic counselors have reservations about DTC-GTs, and there is a paucity of research on providing DTC-GT counseling. This pilot quantitative survey is the first study to examine Canadian genetic counselors' views on DTC-GTs and how this disruptive biotechnology affects their role, and consumer informed consent and privacy. Canadian genetic counselors are cognizant of the harm to informed consent and privacy associated with DTC-GT, but are hesitant to engage directly, wary of misusing clinical time and resources. However, counselors are open to producing educational materials on DTC-GTs and collaborating with other stakeholders and the DTC-GT industry to support consumers. In this study, practical considerations for DTC-GT counseling sessions are discussed, including the unique needs of DTC-GT patients and the challenges posed by DTC-GTs to the genetic counseling duty to inform. This research benefits genetic counselors and physicians by examining how best to utilize genetic counselors' skills in the DTC-GT context, to minimize burdens on the healthcare system and support DTC-GT consumers.

Disability Adjustment Counseling: Experiences and Perspectives of Certified Rehabilitation Counselors

Background Disability adjustment counseling (DAC) focuses on the diverse process of adjusting to chronic illness or disability, including responding to the initial diagnosis or the onset and adjusting to changes and barriers that arise from living with a disability. Although DAC is a primary role and function of rehabilitation counselors, there have been limited efforts to explore the use of DAC in the field. Objective The purpose of this study was to survey certified rehabilitation counselors (CRCs) about the extent of DAC utilization and its focus, the theoretical basis for DAC, and professional preparation. Methods A cross-sectional survey was completed with 109 CRCs recruited through the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC). The research team developed a 35-item survey questionnaire for this study. Most respondents identified as white women with master’s degrees (mean age = 51.41 years). Results Approximately two-thirds of the respondents (67.78%) reported engaging in DAC for approximately a third (31.15%) of their professional time. Many respondents reported wanting to spend more of their professional time providing DAC. Most respondents (75%) indicated they do not operate from a specific model of psychosocial adjustment to chronic illness or disability. Nearly half (48.6%) of the respondents reported that there were not adequate options for DAC counseling. Conclusions The survey results confirm that DAC is an important role and function for rehabilitation counselors. Although the sample was too small to permit broad generalizations, the results imply that further exploration of the research questions among a larger sample is warranted.

Genetic counseling for congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG).

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a genetically and clinically diverse group of disorders that arise as a result of defects within glycosylation synthetic pathways. CDGs are caused by pathogenic variants in many different genes in the glycosylation network. With over 160 different CDG types currently identified and a vast range of severity and presentations existing within and across those types, the road to a CDG diagnosis is often lengthy and complicated. The perils of this arduous CDG diagnostic odyssey are fraught with various genetic counseling uncertainties: (1) confusion about family planning, (2) queries about inheritance, (3) managing treatment, and (4) dealing with the uncertainty of rare diseases. Thus, the role of the genetic counselor is paramount in helping affected individuals and their families navigate these genetic counseling complexities. Case examples of common genetic counseling difficulties for CDGs are outlined, providing clinical applications of what CDG presentations, diagnostic processes, and common difficulties look like. Information on the nomenclature, incidence, prevalence, diagnostic testing, treatment, and management of CDGs are also discussed to provide a comprehensive summary of CDGs for genetic counselors, and subsequently to affected individuals and their families.
