Program Content Description:
Psychedelics are becoming a more popular alternative treatment for some clinical problems—but what is the counselor’s role when this treatment is administered? Hearn et al. (2022) explores the acceptability of psychedelics use and its uses in clinical settings. A path forward for the role of counselors is also proposed.
