 o prevent zoombombing).\n\n“Auto-Intimacy” engages with therapeutic and ps
 ychiatric treatment by algorithmic and other automated therapies. At the e
 arliest moment of experimentation with automated therapies\, two strains o
 f work emerged: the simulation and detection of a disordered mind in the h
 opes of automating intake\, diagnosis\, and psychological education\, and 
 the wholesale simulation of a therapist toward the dream of automating the
 rapeutic treatment to batch process patients. Each tradition was responsiv
 e to pressures on mental health care at midcentury\, as well as new unders
 tandings of the mind that appeared in the same period. This talk offers an
  overview of the social and ethical implications of these treatments as th
 ey move from care to capture to control across the second half of the 20th
  century into our present.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nDr. Hannah Zeavin is a
  scholar\, writer\, and editor whose work centers on the history of human 
 sciences (psychoanalysis\, psychology\, and psychiatry)\, the history of t
 echnology\, feminist STS\, and media theory. She is an Assistant Professor

 she is a visiting fellow at the Columbia University Center for the Study o
 f Social Difference.\n\nZeavin’s first book\, The Distance Cure: A History

  Peters. She is at work on her second book\, Mother’s Little Helpers: Tech
 nology in the American Family (MIT Press\, 2024). Other academic work has
