Group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): A New Frontier
This course page summarizes group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) as a potentially more accessible format for psychedelic therapy. It covers how group sessions are structured, why the group setting may support healing, and basic safety considerations.
Course Overview
This course page explains group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) as an approach that may reduce costs by sharing therapist and medical provider time across multiple participants. It describes how ketamine, which is legally used in psychedelic-assisted therapy via prescription, can be adapted for group settings. The page outlines a sample group structure, including intake and preparation, experiential sessions, and integration, as well as common elements such as opening ritual, dialogue, rest, and shared meals. It also discusses the role of community, mutual support, and group process in the therapeutic experience. The content is relevant for people interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy, group therapy models, and the practical considerations of offering KAP in a group format. It notes that participants are screened in advance and that the format may not be suitable for everyone.
