Join one or more from the professional clinical seminars on Psychedelic-assisted therapy, led by Torsten Passie, Ingmar Gorman, and Eric Vermetten – in a small, intimate setting.
These exclusive workshops are especially relevant to clinicians – psychiatrists and psychotherapists; who will be given priority if the capacity is full.
PNP26 guests are warmly invited to participate in one of the workshops.

Description: Drawn from direct experience in psychedelic clinical trials, this discussion uses sample cases to illuminate one of the field’s most pressing questions. Who’s doing the work in psychedelic therapy? The cases are woven into the current debate about clinical trial design, psychotherapy manualization, the role of psychotherapy, psychological support, and the inner directed model.
