The mental health treatment field is changing, and is about to change even more than many expect. The emergence of new and novel treatments, including three (psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA-AT) that have been given “breakthrough therapy designation” by the FDA in their approval processes stands to shake up how we think about the field. In some cases, these treatments even redefine how we think about what psychotherapy is, what healing is, and how psychotherapy and medications might work together. This workshop will discuss the emerging substantial evidence for new – and largely still investigational – treatments that are broadly labeled “psychedelic therapies,” including for complex psychiatric conditions such as treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as other conditions being researched.
