Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in adolescents with multiple psychiatric diagnoses
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is a promising new treatment for a variety of mental disorders of adolescence. There is currently an adolescent mental health crisis, with a high prevalence of disorders, diagnostic complexity, and many adolescents failing to respond to conventional treatments. While there is strong evidence for the use of ketamine in adults for a variety of treatment-refractory mental illnesses, research in adolescents is in its e…
The Pharmacokinetics of Ketamine in the Breast Milk of Lactating Women
Ketamine is a general anesthetic with over 50 years of safe administration that is in increasing use for psychiatric indications. This is evidenced by the recent FDA approval of intranasal esketamine (the S-enantiomer) for the treatment of depression. With respect to ketamine and lactation, incredibly there are no available data on the secretion of ketamine or its metabolites in human breast milk. This information is essential to guide the use of…
Ketamine—Its History, Uses, Pharmacology, Therapeutic Practice, and an Exploration of its Potential as a Novel Treatment for Depression
Ethnographic Accounts of Ketamine Explorations in Psychedelic Culture
Off-label use of ketamine as a mind-altering substance did not begin in the laboratory, but in the psychedelic culture that grew out of the 1960s counterculture movement. Whatever the risks and limitations of such experimentation, without them the remarkable therapeutic effects of the drug might well have gone unnoticed, and unresearched. The following personal accounts-both inspiring and cautionary-offer glimpses into the cultural contexts that …
Ketamine for Depression
Prior studies have reported variously on the presence or absence of dissociative effects at subanesthtetic doses of ketamine administered for treatment-resistant depression. This mixedmethods study emulated the protocol used for the studies in question, with IV administration of 0.5mg/kg over 40 minutes with eight experienced ketamine users. Quantitative measures were generally insignificant since this was not a population reporting depression; b…
Ketamine (IM) Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Informed consent is important for every medical intervention, and the unique nature of ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) calls for a particularly thoughtful and detailed informed consent document. The following is an informed consent form developed for the author’s use in his own private practice. No representations are made concerning its adequacy or appropriateness for use by other practitioners, or in any other contexts; author, editors, a…
Psychedelic Experiential Pharmacology
1972 to 1976. He studied psychedelic psychotherapy with Stanislav Grof, M.D. and other
The Transformative Power of Ketamine
A discussion of the nature of transformation and its relationship to psychedelic experiencesparticularly ketamine experiences-is presented and discussed along with a schema for thinking about types of states that may be encountered and transformations that may occur related to psychedelic use and practice. This is followed by a longitudinal historical approach for portraying and examining personal transformation along with a proposed instrument-T…
