Scene, Setting, and Safety

The American Psychedelic Practitioners Association (APPA) and BrainFutures recently unveiled the first professional guidelines for psychedelic-assisted therapy, catering to the emerging needs of this therapeutic field. The guidelines address topics such as ethics, patient screening, safety procedures, and continuous informed consent, emphasizing the necessity for practitioners to obtain specialized training, uphold ethical standards, and ensure patient safety. As the understanding of psychedelic-assisted therapy expands, these guidelines are set to evolve, with the current version having a two-year validity and the APPA planning to introduce clinical accreditation standards and ethical guidelines within the upcoming year.
