About Course

Applied psychopathology to psychedelics refers to the study of the effects of these substances on psychopathology, that is, on mental disorders and abnormal psychological processes. Although psychedelics have shown therapeutic potential in the treatment of various conditions, it is important to understand how they interact with psychopathological disorders and what considerations should be taken into account when using them in a clinical setting.

 

In this course, you will learn about the most common mental disorders, their diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, nosology, descriptive phenomenology, and treatment.

The course will specifically focus on the risks and benefits associated with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to ensure safe and effective practice. It will also encourage reflection and debate on the etiology of these disorders, presenting new cross-cutting classification criteria proposed through psychedelic research, which could explain their transdiagnostic utility.
