ABSTRACT

Psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is a burgeoning treatment with growing interest across a variety of settings and disciplines. Empirical evidence supports PAT as a novel therapeutic approach that provides safe and effective treatment for people suffering from a variety of diagnoses, including treatment-resistant depression, substance use disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Within the palliative care (PC) field, one-time PAT dosing may lead to sustained reductions in anxiety, depression, and demoralization-symptoms that diminish the quality of life in both seriously ill patients and those at end of life. Despite a well-noted psychedelic renaissance in scholarship and a renewed public interest in the utilization of these medicines, serious illness-specific content to guide PAT applications in hospice and PC clinical settings has been limited. This article offers 10 evidence-informed tips for PC clinicians synthesized through consultation with interdisciplinary and international leading experts in the field with aims to: (1) familiarize PC clinicians and teams with PAT; (2) identify the unique challenges pertaining to this intervention given the current legalities and logistical barriers; (3) discuss therapeutic competencies and considerations for current and future PAT use in PC; and (4) highlight critical approaches to optimize the safety and potential benefits of PAT among patients with serious illness and their caregivers.

ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an integrative model for training psychedelic therapists. It begins with an overview of the psychedelic healing process - remembering the disconnected parts of ourselves and reestablishing fundamental trust. The authors then walk through six therapist competencies that describe the root principles of practice, breadth of knowledge, transpersonal perspective, and therapeutic stance of a psychedelic practitioner. This model includes 12 curricular areas and didactic methods that support the therapist's process of growth. Finally, the authors link their training philosophy to the current needs of society, offering a vision of how to express psychedelic integration through the honoring of diversity and collaboration.
