Our program will begin by addressing the ethical issues that emerge when non-ordinary states of consciousness are generated with a psychedelic medication. We will note the ethical issues of cultural appropriation and the lack of diversity and restricted access in the field. Ethical codes and models have not yet fully developed in this emerging field, and we will spend the first half of the program noting the issues. The remainder of the program will include addressing the need for intentional spiritual health in facilitating psychedelic experiences and as multicultural ethical care in general psychotherapy. We will also engage with adverse events as given occurrences and how to prepare for them.
