This presentation meets the APA standards for course content and syllabus by including both clinical and empirical support in the contemporary peer reviewed scientific literature. Ketamine and KAP are the sole topics at two annual national conventions: KRIYA and ASKP. The presenters have both presented at previous KRIYA conferences, as well as other national and international conferences on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and KAP. In addition, both presenters have co-led intensive training workshops on KAP to help clinicians learn how to approach this work, integrating prior psychotherapy training, philosophies and style with this new medicine and new protocols of treatment.
Learning Objectives:
1.Attendees will be able to describe five main elements of the theory and practice of ketamine assisted (and psychedelic-assisted) psychotherapy.
2.Attendees will be able to name three stages of the ketamine assisted therapy protocol.
3.Attendees will be able to describe two screening interventions to assess suitability of ketamine assisted therapy for patients.
