Introduction to Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
$30.00
Presented by Geoff Bathje, PhD
Recorded on Thursday, September 12, 2024
Access provided upon registration on “My Courses” page
Ketamine can amplify emotional experience and access to memory, while disrupting defenses, creating what has been called a “pivotal state” where change is possible in a therapeutic set and setting. Yet, ketamine is often administered without the inclusion of psychotherapists, who are in an optimal position to help the client navigate this heightened state for therapeutic benefit, if they have adequate training to do so.
During this session, participants will learn the basics of creating a therapeutic set and setting for ketamine administration, the process of preparation and integration to help the client make optimal use of the experience, and screening for psychological fit with this treatment. We will review various models of practice, expanding beyond a biomedical approach, essential elements of a KAP treatment protocol, the role of “integration” in processing psychedelic experiences, and the opportunity to ask questions.
This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 1.5 CEs for Psychologists, 1.5 IL CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, or 1.5 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs.
