Topic: Psychoanalysis and Psychedelics: Pathways to Repair and Connection presented by Dr Gita Vaid (USA)

Psychedelic medicines are attracting increased attention in psychiatry as effective treatment for a range of conditions. The mechanisms of actions and context necessary to maximize their full healing potential represent a radical departure from current psychiatric frameworks and present an opportunity to reimagine psychiatry as a healing art. 

Psychedelic psychotherapy leverages biological, psychological and spiritual domains to harness innate healing potentials. A novel psychotherapeutic methodology with modified psychoanalytic principles will be presented.  This novel approach permits foundational healing, identity and regulation repair on a journey to wholeness and self-actualization. The therapeutic process and corresponding practice implications are discussed.

Following this session, participants will be able to:

1. Understand psychedelic psychotherapy principles 
2. Understand the psychedelic psychotherapy treatment process
3. The psychotherapist functions and practice
4. The concepts of inner healing intelligence, holotropic states, mystical experience

Date: Wednesday 17 August 2022

More about medicinal psychedelic treatments:

Psychedelic-assisted treatments offer enormous potential in providing a meaningful alternative to current treatments for mental illness. PTSD is a debilitating condition that affects tens of millions of people worldwide, with many more trauma victims diagnosed with comorbid conditions such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. In recent clinical trials, MDMA has been shown to produce reliable clinical improvements, restoring patient safety and self-agency even for individuals who have suffered with PTSD for many years, and for whom many treatments have failed.

The wave of clinical psychedelic research and regulatory support is rapidly building, with experts forecasting the availability of psychedelic-assisted treatments in the US and EU within the next 2 to 5 years, subject to positive clinical outcomes in large trials that are currently underway.
