When I decided to study Psychology, I remember that one of the main concerns I had was if the clinician role had its days counted.
It was the late 90s and Artificial Intelligence (AI) wasn’t just something you used to only see in science fiction movies anymore. It was already real science. I used to think that if I were to become a clinical psychologist I would be signing my early retirement. Yeah, I worried about that stuff when I was 18 (don’t know what the rush was).
I feared that molecular biology, computing technology, chemistry, genetics, neuroscience and ultimately nanotechnology could kill talk therapy within the next 2 or 3 decades.
