An important debate

Scott McGrath@smcgrath.phd · 3mo ago

Surveys show up to 76% of researchers use AI, but self-disclosures in BMJ submissions sit at just 5.7%. There are global standards being drafted to fix this gap but it’s a messy debate over whether to declare simple edits or only full agentic research. #AcademicSky

New paper in International Forum of Psychoanalysis on patients who use AI between sessions. Can it sometimes help them approach material they couldn't yet bring directly into the therapeutic relationship? And what does it do to the transference-countertransference?

Patient Use of AI and its Implications for Transference–Countertransference Dynamics | Jakub Kuchař

Artificial intelligence is beginning to appear in the analytic space—not only as a topic but, at times, as something that can become part of the patient

Nullius In Verba@nulliusinverba.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Starting the new year with a new podcast episode of Nullius In Verba on 'Scientism' nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-72... In the first of two parts, we ask if it is ok to think that science is the best way to generate knowledge, or if this is too dismissing of 'other ways of knowing'.

I když Freud položil základy psychoanalýzy a dodnes je v psychoanalytických kruzích velmi důležitou figurou, současná psychoanalýza není pouze o něm. Akademická psychologie to bohužel nebere moc v potaz. @awaisaftab.bsky.social toto téma rozebírá v přiloženém textu.

Nový článek Yirmiyi a Fonagyho analyzuje, do jaké míry mohou LLM napodobit psychoterapii. Domnívají se, že i přes projevy tzv. (pseudo)empatie a sofistikované odpovědi AI terapeutům chybí potřebná autentická emoční přítomnost a reálná vztahová reciprocita. www.jmir.org/2025/1/e79156

Můj starší rozhovor o současné psychoanalýze pro Psychologie.cz Třeba o tom, že minulost sice nezměníme, ale když jí porozumíme, můžeme získat svobodu nechovat se tolik podle ní v budoucnosti.
