Psychotherapy & Psychedelics - What might be different? What stays the same? Dr S Yates
Psychedelic assisted psychotherapy presents potential opportunities for enhancement or acceleration of psychotherapeutic processes, with accompanying potential harms. How can dynamic psychotherapists think about psychedelics without losing their dynamic or analytic stance and falling into an action oriented (rather than understanding or transformation facilitating) attitude to patients. This short presentation hopes to point toward the various issues and stimulate discussion.
