Experiential training—where aspiring therapists undergo psychedelic-assisted therapy themselves—should not be mandatory, according to an ethical analysis applying Sandell et al.'s framework of training therapy functions. The analysis identifies five potential benefits (therapeutic, modeling, empathic, persuasive, and theoretical functions) but weighs them against six domains of risk: physical and psychological harms, negative effects on therapeutic skill, justice and equity concerns, dual relationships, privacy breaches, and undue pressure. Because many programs already include experiential components, the authors argue that the analysis can inform risk-mitigation strategies rather than justify a requirement.
