In this advanced workshop, a variety of seasoned KAP psychotherapists with a diverse array of backgrounds and approaches will be sharing their clinical experiences, protocol innovations and theoretical understandings. Some of the themes that will be discussed include: the strategic use of low-dose/psycholytic sessions; innovations in set/setting and preparatory processes; an introduction to the use of a client’s “language of self” as a vehicle for maximizing and improving clinical process, outcome and durability of positive effects of KAP; expectation management and screening; the range of psychological experiences clients may have in KAP; follow-up presentation (from Module 7) on therapeutic work with symbols, images and imagination processes in a relational context as integral elements of effective treatment; and exploring potential pitfalls of treatment including psychological dependence and wishful projections within altered states of consciousness. Throughout the workshop, case examples will be used to illustrate important points and perspectives.

Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.
