About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in the field of social robotics and family therapy. She's here to discuss her new course, the Global Certificate Course in Social Robotics for Family Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Hi Jane, thanks for joining us! GUEST: Hi, I'm excited to be here and share more about this innovative course! HOST: That's fantastic! So, Jane, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences and insights that led you to create this unique course? GUEST: Absolutely! Over the years, I've seen how technology can be a game-changer in therapy. Social robotics, in particular, has great potential in family settings.

Can you share some current industry trends relevant to the course? GUEST: Of course. Teletherapy and digital mental health services are on the rise, and social robotics is a natural extension of that. It's about meeting clients where they are, using tools that resonate with them, and making therapy more accessible and engaging. HOST: That's a great point. Now, as someone who's both learning and teaching this subject, what challenges do you see in the field of social robotics for family therapy? GUEST: There are a few challenges. One is the need for more research to establish best practices and evidence-based interventions. Another is the ethical considerations around privacy, consent, and the responsible use of technology in therapy. HOST: Those are important issues to consider. Wrapping up, where do you see the future of social robotics and family therapy heading? GUEST: I believe social robotics will play an increasingly significant role in mental health services, offering new ways to engage clients, support therapists, and improve outcomes. It's an exciting time to be part of this growing field! HOST: Thank you, Jane, for sharing your insights and giving us a sneak peek into this innovative course.
