    NPA 2023 Spring Conference:

           "Technology in Practice – Clinical Applications, AI and the Legal and Ethical Implications of its Use"

    May 3, 2023

    Live via Zoom

    NPA is again on the forefront of innovation and technology in practice! Join us as two expert national presenters keep you up-to-date on clinical applications, AI and the legal and ethical implications of its use.

    Registration Now Open!


    Shiri Sadeh-Sharvit, PhD.

    Navigating the Digital Frontier: Exploring Technology and AI Integration for Personalized Clinical Practice
    The first part of the conference is designed to equip psychologists with the expertise and capabilities to effectively utilize digital and artificial intelligence (AI) tools within their clinical practice. Attendees will acquire knowledge about diverse technologies applicable in clinical settings, develop strategies to identify opportunities for implementing technology, including AI, to enhance client outcomes, and learn how to choose and seamlessly integrate the most fitting digital tools. Ethical considerations related to the use of AI in mental healthcare will be comprehensively examined. Furthermore, we will delve into the complementary function of generative AI tools, such as chatGPT, in elevating psychological interventions. (See Dr. Sadeh-Sharvit's bio below.)


    Eric Ström, JD, PhD, LMHC

    Law & Ethics of the Clinical Use of Artificial Intelligence: Implications in Clinical Practice
    The afternoon session will cover while new and emerging technologies can provide clinicians with powerful and effective clinical tools, such technologies also have the potential to create a range of new challenges. In this session we will address the specific legal and ethical implications of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning within the practice of psychology. We will identify and discuss the evolving standards found in federal law, state law, and in the professional codes of ethics. Participants will gain the ability to identify and implement a legally and ethically sound approach evaluating and implementing new AI technologies in clinical practice. (See Dr. Ström's bio below.)
