Psychotherapy with psychedelic drugs: A case report
Journal of Psychoactive Drugs January 1, 1981 Francesco B. Di Leo 7 citations
A case report describes the use of psychedelic drugs as an adjunct to psychotherapy for a single patient. The treatment involved administering a psychedelic substance during therapy sessions to facilitate emotional insight and psychological healing. The report details the patient's background, the therapeutic process, and the outcomes observed. The authors suggest that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy may offer benefits for certain individuals, particularly those who have not responded well to conventional treatments. The case illustrates the potential for these drugs to enhance the therapeutic experience and promote lasting psychological change, though the findings are limited to this single case and cannot be generalized without further research.
