RU354: KARIN VALIS ON AI & PSYCHOANALYSIS

https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru354-karin-valis-on-ai-and-psychoanalysis

Rendering Unconscious episode 354.

On this episode of Rendering Unconscious, I sat down with Karin Valis to talk about AI, psychoanalysis, cut-ups and magic.

This is how AI summarizes our conversation (with some minor edits):

Karin Valis, a machine learning engineer based in Berlin, discusses the intersection of AI and psychoanalysis, highlighting the dangers of AI therapists exacerbating mental health issues. She notes the rise of AI psychosis on Reddit, where AI's helpful programming can deepen users' delusions. Karin also explores AI's role in reflecting and influencing the unconscious, comparing it to a language virus a la William S. Burroughs. Karin plans to publish a book on AI's impact, focusing on female/femme perspectives, and is developing an AI journaling tool to aid personal growth and self-reflection.

Rendering Unconscious episode 351.

I sat down with Julie Reshe, Todd McGowan, and Simone A. Medina Polo to talk about their new book Death and Love: Psychoanalytic and Philosophical Perspectives (2025): https://www.routledge.com/Death-and-Love-Psychoanalytic-and-Philosophical-Perspectives/Reshe-McGowan/p/book/9781032663425

This episode centers on a new edited volume exploring the intersections of death and love, edited by Julie Reshe and Todd McGowan, to which Simone A. Medina Polo contributed. The book is dedicated to Mari Ruti, who passed away before completing her contribution. Key chapters include Lacanian perspectives, existentialist and theological analyses, and a tribute to Sabina Spielrein. Contributors explore the death drive and its implications, delving into the philosophical and psychoanalytic nuances of love and death. The conversation also touches on the challenges and significance of Spielrein's work and its impact on contemporary psychoanalysis.

Julie Reshe is a leading researcher in psychoanalysis and professor of philosophy at the Global Centre for Advanced Studies (GCAS) where she directs the Institute of Psychoanalysis. She completed her PhD under the supervision of Alenka Zupančič at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

In this conversation, Mary and I discuss the portrayal of mental health professionals in television shows. The conversation begins with "The Sopranos," focusing on Tony Soprano's therapy sessions with psychiatrist Jennifer Melfi, highlighting the dynamic between a mobster and his therapist. The discussion then moves to "Mr. Robot," examining Elliot Alderson's sessions with his therapist, Krista, and his internal monologue. "In Treatment" is analyzed, exploring the crisis of faith experienced by therapist Paul Weston. The episode concludes with a look at "Hannibal," where Dr. Hannibal Lecter's sessions with his therapist, played by Gillian Anderson, are examined.

In this conversation, Mary and I chat about the portrayal of mental health professionals in film and TV. We discuss the accuracy and impact of these portrayals, including the stigma around mental health and the challenges faced by therapists. We analyze scenes from films like "Spellbound," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," and "Girl, Interrupted," highlighting issues such as the misrepresentation of therapists, the impact of funding cuts on mental health services, and the societal pressures on identity and diagnosis. The conversation also touches upon the importance of making psychoanalytic concepts accessible and the role of therapists in empowering their patients.
