Abstract in brief
This text discusses Switzerland's legal use of restricted psychotropic drugs like MDMA and LSD for treating resistant mental health conditions, mainly through a special group therapy model developed since 2014, which addresses trauma-related disorders such as chronic PTSD and CPTSD.
The therapy involves using MDMA initially to boost motivation, emotional regulation, and trauma processing, followed by LSD to deepen the therapeutic experience; most patients showed improvement with no serious adverse effects.
The approach is particularly effective for CPTSD, requiring multiple sessions, and aims to improve symptoms like emotional dysregulation, negative self-perception, and traumatic memory processing, contributing to the development of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.]
New open access publication in which Peter Oehen and Peter Gasser describe their group psychedelic psychotherapy practice, which was active from 2015 through 2020.

Not to be “that guy”, but psychedelics seem to be the one substance that magically solves most mental health items (I quit smoking because of it)

“Stillness is considered a tool of confrontation”
Powerful language, signaling one of the risks of the under-trained, overly-interrupting therapist!

I had no idea that the Swiss had developed this pathway to psychedelic therapy. Very interesting strategy and protocol elaborated here.
