Course Overview
Psychedelics, Hallucinogens and Entheogens: What Clinicians Need to Know provides mental health professionals essential knowledge for addressing psychedelic use in clinical contexts. Taught by psychedelic researcher and clinician Dr. Peter Addy, this course bridges the gaps between prohibitive misconceptions, emerging science, and clients' real-world psychedelic experiences.
Through online modules, participants gain updated understandings of classic and atypical psychedelics, traditional uses, current research, therapeutic mechanisms, integration models, ethical dilemmas, and clinical applications. Clinicians develop skills for competently navigating discussions of psychedelics in therapy, determining risks and benefits, and leveraging psychedelics' potential to catalyze healing from trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and more.
