This is follow-up session #2 so we can again discuss the book by Ethan Mollick, 

Artificial Intelligence is now a part of the practice of psychology. It is here and it is real. But how it can be effectively implemented and be a value for patients is still in question. We must become knowledgeable in how AI creates responses so we can be ethically accountable to our patients.

Even though we had a healthy discussion on Artificial Intelligence in May, we will again discuss key insights on AI presented by Mollick.

From Wharton professor and author comes the definitive playbook for working, learning, and living in the new age of AI. Ethan Mollick understands what ChatGPT means - after millions of years on our own, humans have developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment, or even replace, human thinking. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI, focusing on the practical aspects of how these new tools for thought can transform our world.

In Co-Intelligence, Mollick urges us to engage with AI as co-worker, co-teacher, and coach. He assesses its profound impact on business and education, using dozens of real-time examples of AI in action. Co-Intelligence shows what it means to think and work together with smart machines, and why it is imperative that we master that skill.

Mollick challenges us to utilize AI's enormous power without losing our identity, to learn from it without being misled, and to harness its gifts to create a better human future. Wide-ranging, thought-provoking, optimistic, and lucid, Co-Intelligence reveals the promise and power of this new era.

If you attended in May, you will appreciate this follow-up discussion. If you missed in May, please join us in June.

Danielle Henderson, Chair, IPA DEIJ Committee


There is nothing better than a good book. Well, there probably are better things out there like antibiotics and not-for-profits doing great work but I really do love a good book. Getting to hear an author’s perspective and the opportunity to learn, to be challenged, and to do better as a result is the great promise of a well-written text.

To that end, during my time as IPA President, I’ll be hosting a recurring book club for IPA members. The purpose of the book club will be to expose readers to a variety of topics germane to psychology, then come together to discuss the content of the book in a semi-structured environment. The books will always be non-fiction, and the meetings will be focused on discussion around questions derived from the text. The goal is for participants to read the book, enjoy the discussion, and come away with knowledge we can use to make ourselves better as psychologists.  

Our next book will be By the Time You Read This:  The Space between Cheslie’s Smile and Mental Illness – Her Own Story in Her Own Words by April Simpkins and Cheslie Kryst. We will meet on Monday, 7/14/2025 from 12:00-1:00pm via Zoom. Dr. Henderson is going to co-lead with me which is very exciting. We are excited to explore this book and lead this discussion together!
