A Spectrum of Selves Reinforced in Multilevel Coherence: A Contextual Behavioural Response to the Challenges of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Development
Overview
This paper addresses challenges in psychedelic-assisted therapy by proposing an adapted Contextual Behavioural Science model called the 'Spectrum of Selves.' It integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles with psychedelic research to manage issues like ego inflation and traumatic memories. The resource includes a case example and a practical checklist for clinicians working within this framework.
