Combining Psychedelic and Mindfulness Interventions: Synergies to Inform Clinical Practice. Hosted by Nick Wallis & EGA
Talk Synopsis:
This lecture draws on a recent paper by Jake Payne, Dr Richard Chambers and Dr Paul Liknaitzky concerning the synergy and differences between mindfulness and psychedelic interventions. Psychedelic and mindfulness interventions have been shown to improve mental health and wellbeing, with a range of clinical processes and effects in common. However, each appear to contain specific challenges in the context of mental health treatment. In this presentation, Jake will outline a set of distinct affordances (“useful differences”) within psychedelic and mindfulness interventions that might address common challenges within the other intervention. Accordingly, Jake proposes a set of applied synergies, indicating specific ways in which these two promising interventions might be combined for greater benefit.
