This conference will provide up-to-date overviews and discussions of advances in the field of psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted therapies, with an emphasis on clinical studies and practice. Mechanisms of action including pharmacology, neuroscience, and psychodynamic theory will be discussed, with a focus on specific clinical entities such as depression, PTSD, and addictions.
