Andrea Gurney: Invisible in Plain Sight
A Westmont Downtown Lecture on love and connection in an age of AI
Clinical psychologist Andrea Gurney gives this Westmont Downtown Lecture, "Invisible in Plain Sight: Reclaiming Love and Connection in an Age of AI." She looks at why loneliness and burnout keep rising in such a connected era, how dating apps, curated feeds and AI companions can offer comfort without real closeness, and what people can do to build lasting relationships. She draws on clinical cases, research and today's dating culture.
Gurney has taught at Westmont since 2005, trained at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and has a clinical practice in Santa Barbara. The lecture is free, with no tickets or reservations; seats are first come, first served. Questions: (805) 565-6051.
