Breakout 1B: Clinical Social Workers and Psychedelic Treatments: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Professional Response
Ongoing advances are reframing psychedelic medications as a valuable tool in the 21st Century; however, there has been little to no discussion of psychedelics within the social work profession. The presenter explored the knowledge, attitudes, and professional considerations of clinical social workers towards psychedelic modalities. The study ultimately concluded that psychedelic-assisted treatments align with the ethical standards of the social work profession. The findings of this study lead to important implications relating to education, practice, stigma, and ethical decision making which will be reviewed in the presentation.
