Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy: Research, Treatment Paradigms and Harm Reduction

Live Webinar, CE: 3 Hours

Presenter:  Mary Gresham, Ph.D.

This workshop is designed to introduce psychologists to the emerging  field of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, an area of work that is often characterized by stereotypes, myths and misinformation. We will review a brief history of the field and note the major research studies and outcomes. We will identify which clinical issues and which clients are appropriate for this type of short term evidence based intervention. Increasing numbers of our clients will be trying these substances and today's clinician needs to understand and educate others on the principles of harm reduction for psychedelic substances. 

We will clarify the legality of differing approaches, ethical issues in the field and note the lack of diversity currently being addressed in the field. This is a broad overview of the field appropriate for those interested in alternate states of
consciousness as a method of change.
