摘要

As public interest in psychedelics rises, psychologists will increasingly encounter clients who are considering or engaging in psychedelic use. This article provides an overview of key background contexts, the current landscape of psychedelic research, and the emerging clinical model of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT). The author highlights key clinical and ethical challenges psychologists face: honoring client autonomy, providing harm reduction and accurate education, navigating legal constraints, and addressing systemic inequities. Evidence-based practice considerations are discussed for all psychologists, regardless of their training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. The article concludes with a call to action for culturally humble, ethically grounded, and socially just approaches to psychedelics within contemporary psychology.
