Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD Related to Racial Discrimination
Overview
This case report describes the treatment of a client with treatment-resistant PTSD stemming from racial discrimination and childhood sexual abuse using ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. The intervention combined four doses of ketamine over 13 days with functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). The authors report significant symptom reduction that was maintained at four months post-treatment, highlighting the potential utility of this approach for complex trauma.
