How does a person transform when they travel alongside their digital reflection and internalize a symbolic self that appears equally real because of technology? In a world that is dystopian for some and harmonious like the Promised Land for others, where identity and relationships are co-shaped by algorithmic sequences, the book Humans and Algorithms by Eustratios Papanis comes to shed light on the uncharted territories of psychotherapy in the age of artificial intelligence.

Avoiding technophobic biases, as well as uncritical idealization, the work examines the transformation of psychotherapy: from digital assistants and online sessions to profound shifts in how people narrate their pain and joy.
