Set and setting predict psychopathology, wellbeing and meaningfulness of psychedelic experiences: a correlational study

This survey (n=1022) investigated the correlation between set and setting variables in psychedelic therapy with psychopathology, well-being, and personality. Findings suggest that growth motivations, natural settings, and the presence of significant others predict positive outcomes. In contrast, problematic motivations are associated with greater psychopathology and lower well-being.

Blinding and Expectancy Confounds in Psychedelic Randomised Controlled Trials

Systematic review evidence suggests effect sizes in psychedelic randomised controlled trials are likely inflated by participant de‑blinding and high response expectancy, yet existing trials generally fail to measure or report these confounds. The authors recommend routinely measuring de‑blinding and expectancy and improving trial design and participant instructions so such biases can be estimated and removed, and they urge caution in interpreting current effect‑size estimates.

Integrating psychotherapy and psychopharmacology: psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and other combined treatments

This meta-review (2020) examines the therapeutic frameworks surrounding contemporary practices of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, with regard to the historic development of therapeutic models and contemporary insights into extra-pharmacological factors and underlying mechanisms. They highlight that these therapies entail greater environmental sensitivity from the patient's perspective, which requires more meticulous attention for the preparation of the set and setting, a considerably resource-intensive endeavor.
