My New Book is Here!
Prepare Your Self, Your Client, and Your Practice for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
It is exceedingly easy to add psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to your outpatient practice. Not what you’ve heard or imagined? Let me change your mind. For licensed clinicians, it is simple, easy and fast. These medicines fit into our existing work, be it psychoanalytic psychotherapy, DBT, CBT, IFS, mindfulness-focused, somatically-based, narrative therapies, all of it. No need to let dread of extensive training/education derail you from this wildly fabulous new opportunity for the enrichment of your work. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) isn’t a developmental or practice theory requiring a two year advanced-clinical training/education program. It is simply a potent, novel, user-friendly tool to incorporate into your existing practice/approach.
KAP Client PDF’s
Here are some handouts to support your clients in their ketamine treatment:
KAP Consent Forms
KAP providers have created a plethora of models for various consents for KAP treatment. Outside of official guidelines and protocols outlined for our practice, some practitioners have consulted lawyers exploring different priorities, concerns, and policies. The good news is that many practitioners are willing to share their documents with our growing professional community to help us crowd-source options for consent forms for your practice.
My forms tend to prioritize clear communication with clients. What that means is they make less use of legal language, and therefore may have less standing in court should that ever be required. Feel free to use or adapt based on your own needs, practice policies, and priorities.
Intake Information Form
I send this as a google document and use it both to assess candidacy and get authorization for contact with their medical and psychotherapy providers.
