Ketamine: An Introduction to Use, Modalities, and Local Treatment Resources

Brian Pilecki and Jason Luoma from Portland Psychotherapy Clinic are hosting a really amazing event...
Dear Community,
I wanted to announce a workshop that might be of interest to you led by Jason Luoma and myself on the legal and ethical risks involved in conducting psychedelic harm reduction and integration therapy. This workshop is oriented towards clinicians who are interested in doing this work and want to learn more about the potential risks (e.g. criminal, licensing board, etc) that are involved and steps they can take to mitigate those risks. This workshop is based on a paper that was just accepted for publication (which we will announce soon!) that involved extensive research and consultation with lawyers, ethical psychologists, etc. If you have any questions about the content of the workshop feel free to email me, but here is the information below. Hope to see some of you there!

Is psychedelic capitalism a myth?

"Equity in psychedelics requires taking seriously the multiplicity of experiences that patients and users have. If it does not, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy risks becoming re-traumatizing instead of therapeutic."

In this article, we take a closer look at some of the implications of the argument that identity politics are antithetical to psychedelics’ teaching of “oneness.” We outline some of the potential harm in holding oneness as the ultimate psychedelic experience on which all healing depends, hypot...
