This textbook explores the evolving nature of human relationships with artificial intelligence and its significance within therapeutic settings. It presents a relational psychology perspective on the engagements between individuals and various forms of AI, such as virtual assistants and chatbots. The book examines these interactions not as speculative technocentric visions but as actual relational experiences that mirror and at times evoke human-to-human connections. It examines psychological projections, formations of attachment, and meanings assigned by human minds to AI responses.
