‘This event opens up a discussion about the ‘uberization’ of therapeutic practice, the business models behind it and the emerging political fault lines for therapists. Using as its starting point Elizabeth Cotton’s new book UberTherapy: The New Business of Mental Health (Bristol University Press, 2025), the three discussants – Andrew Samuels, Linda Michaels and Elizabeth Cotton – will together explore the narratives and the politics of digital therapy and the collective challenges that lie ahead for therapeutic work in the face of widespread platformization. The event will challenge participants to raise their consciousness and consider a defence of deep work and the what next in the story of UberTherapy.’.
