About this book

Millions now confide in machines. This book asks what it is doing to us — an evidence-based journey through how psychology built AI, how AI is entering therapy and clinics, and what happens to attachment, trust, ethics, learning, childhood and work when the machine talks back. Written for educated readers who are neither clinicians nor engineers, with every major claim anchored to published studies, documented cases or named institutions.
