Online Information Series: Understanding the Austen Riggs Treatment Approach
Presenter: Catherine L. Grus, PhD
New tools using artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies with applications for health care and specifically mental health care are increasingly being developed. While clinicians and treatment settings vary with respect to their adoption, the rapid and pervasive development of these technologies suggests a need for all mental health care providers to have a basic understanding to navigate potential ethical pitfalls. This presentation describes some of the more common types of technology-based tools available to mental health providers and how they are developed with a focus on how to ethically incorporate their use in clinical practice.
