THERE IS STILL TIME TO REGISTER FOR “MAINTAINING PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY” – REGISTER NOW
ACE Foundation Programs
For centuries psychedelic substances have been used by indigenous cultures for medicinal and as part of sacred ceremonies. Beginning in the 1950s, psychedelics gained popularity in the West and were subject to numerous scientific studies examining their therapeutic potential. In the U.S., clinical viability came to a halt in the 1970s with the Controlled Substances Act.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of research into the potential therapeutic benefits of psychedelics for a variety of mental health conditions. Based on research findings, one legal psychedelic substance being used for treatment resistant depression is Ketamine, when used as part of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in a controlled clinical setting by a practitioner who is certified to practice KAP.
In this discussion, we will explore the history of psychedelics, examine the unique pharmacology of Ketamine and explore Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. An experiential exercise will help to highlight the important role music plays during a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Exploration session. Through a review of the recent literature and case studies, we will examine the inclusion and exclusion criteria for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, along with ethical and safety guidelines.
Please Note: This presentation does not certify any licensed mental health professional to practice Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP); the purpose of this presentation is to provide licensed mental health professionals with a basic understanding of the history of KAP – its pros vs. cons and how the KAP process works when a certified KAP practitioner follows safety and ethical guidelines for screening, treatment and maintenance.
