Ethical Due Diligence Paper: Justification Framework for Providing Legal, Ethical Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration Therapy (HRIT) in a Private Practice Setting
This 24-page paper evaluates the ethics around psychedelic harm reduction and integration therapy (HRIT) within the context of a private practice. It summarizes my due diligence in analyzing state law, national code of ethics for my discipline, and national clinical standards for my discipline.
If you consider existing research outcomes, growing popular interest, and reflect on the clinical implications for psychedelic therapy models - this is an important area for all mental health providers to become knowledgeable in. An ethical review becomes the foundation of your work.
"This melted the stress about my state licensing board. I now have confidence my HRIT work fits within ethical guidelines and I have a resource to defend myself if my state board applies scrutiny." - Therapist Integration member
