Integrating AI into Mental Health Care

Navigate AI adoption in mental health practice with informed clinical judgment

Mental health professionals (MHPs) face a new trend that brings about fear, anxiety, hope, and perhaps excitement for some: artificial intelligence (AI). Above all, a careful evaluation and thorough consideration are needed to assess what role AI can play, and in what form it can play its part in mental health care, while at the same time preserving the human connection that is so vital for therapy.

Written by clinical psychologists and technologists, this is a complete introduction to the topic of artificial intelligence applied in mental health care. Integrating AI into Mental Health Care starts with a diligent exploration of ethics, safety, and privacy. It then discusses regulatory aspects and liability for clinicians, how to use AI for professional education, AI scribes, chatbots, and the emergence of new conversational paradigms. Fi
