Psychedelics are serotonergic agonists, with acute psychoactive effects affecting perception and mood, among several other cognitive processes. Generally, typical, and atypical psychedelic drugs are considered physiologically safe and have limited abuse liability.
Due to the notorious relevance of the treatment strategy for psychiatric disorders, it seems paramount to discuss and detail the ethical issues that could be raised by these new interventions.
This workshop aims to clarify psychedelics’ unique context in some indigenous cultures and the risk of changing that. Second, it will discuss ethical issues in their application to a vulnerable population such as mental disorder patients, including the intricacies of written informed consent and questions raised by spiritual or religious occurrences during therapy.
