Why do human beings divide into “us” and “them”? This webinar explores the brain mechanisms that contribute to discrimination, polarisation, and ideological violence, and examines how emerging AI technologies may support greater self-awareness, empathy, dialogue, and human flourishing. The presentation will highlight the relevance of these dynamics in individual, family, and group therapy, where practitioners frequently encounter conflict, trauma, and identity-based wounds. Dr Carlos Raimundo will also introduce Humanis, a Sentience-Guided AI for Human Flourishing. [email protected]) Following a brief presentation, participants will be invited to discuss practical applications of the research and explore how AI may be incorporated into therapeutic, educational, and organisational settings. Date: Saturday, 27 June 2026 Time: 09:00–10:30 CEST Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tzNFr24VRKSGLmhLiGxrKw Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to: ● Identify key brain mechanisms involved in discrimination and ideological division. ● Apply neuroscience-informed concepts to understanding conflict and trauma in therapeutic practice. ● Explore opportunities and considerations for integrating AI into professional practice. Participants are encouraged to browse Chapter 10 of the IAGP 2025 publication for additional context: The Brain Roots of Division, Discrimination, and Ideological Violence [LINK] About Dr. Carlos Raimundo: Dr. Carlos is an Argentinean-born medical doctor, psychiatrist, and psychodramatist who has called Australia home since 1986.
