Presenter

This panel explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the psychoanalytic landscape by threatening core values of meaning making, relationality, and trust in one’s own thinking. Presentations will examine clinicians’ resistance, curiosity, and dread toward AI: one paper situates analytic hesitation within broader patterns of mistrust toward new technologies; another presents original survey research on clinician attitudes and uses of AI; and a third reflects on AI’s paradoxical role in grief and analytic shadow. Together, the panelists will probe both the dangers and the potential of AI in analytic work, inviting critical engagement from the audience.

• Co-investigator: Darby Lasky, Columbia Univeristy
