Description
Kelley O'Donnell and eight colleagues published a framework paper in two thousand twenty-four on the therapy paired with MDMA in trauma trials. Two large trials tested MDMA-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. The drug sessions sat inside a short, intensive course of talk therapy, but the thinking behind that therapy had never been set out in print.
The paper lays out the concepts, theories, and history behind the approach. Its centre is the patient's own inner healing intelligence, with the trusting therapy relationship as the setting that lets it work. The model blends body-based and thought-based trauma care. It avoids labelling the patient's experience as sickness. The authors hope the account clears up common misunderstandings.
