What's inside:

• Assessment. The AI Use Clinical Assessment Tool with intake screener, and the AI Relational Patterns Conversation Guide, for recognizing and opening up how a client's AI use is affecting them.
• Treatment. The Self-Connection Treatment Framework and When AI Use Warrants a Stronger Response, for responding in session when AI use is getting in the way.
• Reference. The Mechanics of Trust cheat sheet, the Pendulum Principle card, and Conditions for a Steady Swing, the core concepts on a page.
• Practice tools. A Clinical Technology Policy and an AI and Technology Use Agreement (client consent), to put your own practice on solid footing.
• Client-facing. Handouts your clients can take with them, including Using AI Without Losing Yourself.
• The evidence. Plain-language research briefs behind each part of the framework.

The Arc is a living framework. It is revised as new research comes in, and every update is included with your annual license at no additional cost, roughly quarterly.

Developed by Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT, a social worker, family therapist, and longtime Chief Technology Officer. He teaches the framework in continuing education and university settings, including Rutgers, Penn State, and Ohio State, and has written the Human-Centered Technology column for Psychology Today for over a year, with 6 articles designated Essential Reads by the editors. The framework is actively refined through clinical training and has not yet been formally validated.
