Psychedelic-assisted grief therapy: a mixed-method case study
Mortality December 5, 2024 Pablo Sabucedo, Chris Evans, Donald W. Nicholson et al. 1 citation
A woman in her thirties grieving her father's death from cancer underwent nine sessions of Meaning Reconstruction Therapy that included two ayahuasca sessions and subsequent integration sessions. The intervention prevented the development of complicated grief. Analysis of therapy session content and psychometric measures taken before, after, and at a three-month follow-up suggests that meaning reconstruction, psychological flexibility, and maintaining a continuing bond with the deceased were key processes driving the improvement.
