Shaping the Future of Therapy

The integration of technology in therapy has grown significantly, driven by factors such as accessibility, affordability, and heightened user engagement. This talk explores technology's transformative impact on psychotherapy, focusing on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as a pioneer in adopting a range of technology-based interventions from sensor-based wearables to immersive media. Emphasizing the unique perspectives of Information scholars in providing a user-centered perspective on this socio-technical space, we argue that therapeutic interactions present a distinctive and enriching environment for the information discipline.
