This is a continuation of NCP’s Manifest Mind Series.
As psychedelic medicine moves toward wide clinical implementation, psychoanalysts are establishing a specialized set of roles and methods separate from other psychotherapists. The value of psychedelic medicine in psychodynamic care has been extensively documented in the past decade, corroborating published clinical experience in the earlier LSD era over 60 years ago. This two-hour presentation, a continuance of our presentation on psychedelic medicine in the spring, will be devoted to explorations of the clinical skills in working therapeutically with psychedelic medicine. This session examines three aspects of particular interest to analysts and presents challenges to be met with future psychoanalytic methodologies that extend our penetration into the misty realities ahead.

Speaker:

Thomas M. Brod, MD, is Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and Senior Faculty at NCP. He is coordinator of the NCP series Manifest Mind, devoted to the study of psychoanalysis and psychedelic medicine.
