Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

Previously I have shared posts on clinical trials abroad linked to the use of MDMA in conjunction with psychotherapy to treat PTSD.

This recent article outlines ongoing Irish research on the use of psilocybin, (the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms) in conjunction with psychotherapy to help those with treatment resistant depression.

“It’s promising data,” says Dr John Kelly, a psychiatrist and clinical senior lecturer at Trinity College Dublin and Tallaght University Hospital and an investigator with the trial. “It’s going to form the basis for further, larger studies.”

Psychedelics in conjunction with psychotherapy is an area of continued research globally and could provide future treatment options for clients in distress.

This radio clip on RTE may also be of interest.

  1. I am working on MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy in treating PTSD in my thesis at the moment and am looking for therapists willing to be interviewed and explore the psychotherapist’s view in terms of the potential impact, concerns of the therapeutic use of MDMA medicine in treating PSTD also the view of the role of psychotherapist in MDMA-Assisted therapy. The interview would be 50 min long and would happen by zoom at a time that suits her best.

    I would really appreciate if one of your therapist could take part.

    I’m really looking forward to hearing from you.

    Warm regards
