Depth Psychology in the Digital Age

Being Human: The Psychology of Your Online Self

In case you missed it, you can now watch the video of my talk “The Psychology of your Online Self” which took place in 2015 at the Humanise the Web conference in London. This event was organised by the Author Nathalie Nahai and covered all aspects of our complex relationship with the Internet. In this, I ask, what defines us? At a time in which we are constantly connected, interrupted, and seduced by our technology, I explore how our relationship with technology is impacting our sense of meaning, relationships, and personal growth.


 
 

Dr Aaron Balick is a psychotherapist, author, and keynote speaker who applies depth psychology — the study of the unconscious forces shaping human behaviour — to technology, AI, and modern culture. His perspective is grounded in something relatively rare in this conversation: more than two decades of clinical experience alongside proven academic credentials. He is a clinical psychotherapist, former Director of the MA in Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, and the author of The Psychodynamics of Social Networking — the first book to apply psychoanalytic theory to social media. He also writes a monthly psychology column for GQ. Through his framework of Applied Psychodynamics, he helps leaders, organisations, and public audiences understand what is really happening beneath the surface of digital life — and what to do about it. He is based in London.
