The SXSW PanelPicker is now open until August 18! We’ve proposed a panel on a crucial topic, ethics in psychedelic care, with some of the brightest minds in psychedelic law, research, and ethics. Please take a minute to cast a vote for “Co-Altered States: Being Ethical in Psychedelic Care,” to be featured at SXSW in March 2025.
Co-Altered States: Being Ethical in Psychedelic Care
Psychedelic therapy has gained traction as a promising approach to mental health treatment, but with this rise comes a myriad of ethical challenges stemming from the complexities of power dynamics and unclearly defined roles between “therapists” and “patients” in dual altered-state experiences.
From ethical gray areas to severe violations such as sexual and financial abuse of patients, this panel aims to delve into these ethical dilemmas. Panelists will explore questions such as: What is ethical? Why does unethical behavior occur? How should the psychedelics community respond to bad actors?
Proposed Panelists:
- Barine Duman Majewska - Counsel, Vicente LLP
- Matthew Johnson, PhD - Senior Researcher, Sheppard Pratt Center for Excellence in Psilocybin Research and Treatment
- Neşe Devenot - Senior Lecturer, Johns Hopkins University
