In the ever-evolving field of mental health, groundbreaking approaches are continuously emerging, challenging our traditional perspectives on healing and recovery. One such frontier is the integration of psychedelic-assisted therapy — a burgeoning area of research and practice that could change the way practitioners approach mental health treatment.
In the latest episode of inSocialWork, we embark on an enlightening journey into the world of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Our guest, Brooke Stott, LMSW, a respected researcher and clinician in this field, discusses how psychedelics are being used to address such mental health issues as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety and PTSD.
Stott brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion, shedding light on the potential benefits and challenges of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Listeners will gain insight into the research, ethical considerations and practical applications of these therapies in social work and mental health care.
