Description

Just as the assessment is an important part of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP), the integration after PAP treatment is even more important.  

Several key elements are involved in strategic integration in an attempt to avoid influencing or fulfilling the therapist’s agenda above what is important to the patient.  

Ketamine has been used legally for depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental health conditions.  This recording reviews the key elements of integration strategies specific to the mental health condition being addressed.  Ketamine treatment has some specific nuances that will be outlined and compared to other psychedelics.  

Ways to improve the efficacy of the integration are described with specific case examples to highlight tools to improve outcome.  

Viewers will leave with an understanding as to when ketamine assisted psychotherapy might be beneficial to specific patients.
