Assessing the Evidence for Evidence-based Therapies in PAT

As psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) gains momentum, increased focus on integrating evidence-based therapies (EBTs) with psychedelic treatment models has sparked important discussions within research and clinical communities. While some studies seek to pair structured, protocol-driven therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE) with psychedelics, others advocate for non-directive, inner-directed approaches (IDA) that align with the unique mechanisms of psychedelics.This panel brings together leading researchers and clinicians to examine the rationale, methods, and implications of applying EBTs within PAT.
