About
Leora Trub is a leading voice at the intersection of clinical psychology and digital technology, whose research critically examines how our online lives shape mental health. Her work spans the psychological effects of social media, the ethics of artificial intelligence in therapy, and the evolving nature of identity and intimacy in the digital age. Trub is perhaps best known for her pioneering study on therapy bots, where she rigorously tested the efficacy of a CBT bot against other behavioral intervention technologies, finding that while these tools show promise, they often lack the meaningful controls needed to substantiate claims of effectiveness. This work, which has garnered significant attention with 23 citations since 2023, has become a cornerstone in debates about the future of automated mental health care. Beyond this, her broader research has been widely cited for illuminating how digital environments can both support and undermine psychological well-being. A sought-after commentator and educator, Trub’s contributions are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complex psychological terrain of our increasingly mediated world.
