When:

Venue:
Birkbeck 43 Gordon Square
We would love to see you at the launch of Eoin Fullam's new book, Chatbot Therapy: A Critical Analysis of AI Mental Health Treatment.
Drawing on historical and emerging scholarship on critical theory, science and technology studies, and critical psychology, this project investigates the social life of mental health therapy applications. It centres around the questions of what it means to automate mental health treatment and of how automated interventions alter our understanding of mental suffering and well-being.
Speakers include: Prof. Ian Parker (author of Revolution in Psychology: Alienation to Emancipation; Lacan, Discourse, Event: New Psychoanalytic Approaches to Textual Indeterminacy), Prof. Felicity Callard (author of Rethinking Interdisciplinarity Across the Social Sciences and Neurosciences, with Des Fitzgerald), and Dr. Evan Sedgwick-Jell, (author of Capitalist Pathology - Late neoliberalization, depressive critique and the cultural logic of mental health - forthcoming).
The talks will be followed by refreshments and a chance for informal discussion.
Book your free place!
