Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to study MDMA-assisted therapy in healthy volunteers and provide training of therapists. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does MDMA-assisted therapy result in personal and professional benefits?
Participants will have a non-drug preparatory session prior to each experimental session and an integrative session after each experimental session.
Detailed Description:
The Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled study MT1 was designed to collect safety and quantitative data on mood, psychological symptoms, personality traits, and interpersonal closeness in therapists learning to conduct MDMA-assisted psychotherapy or MDMA research among 120 healthy volunteers. The MT1 study was also designed to expand the knowledge of therapists training to conduct MDMA-assisted psychotherapy research. In the MT1 study, several participants submitted optional written narratives with impressions that participating in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy helped them professionally and personally.
This Phase 1, open-label, multi-site research study is designed to build upon the MT1 study to further assess the psychological effects and safety of manualized MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, while supporting the expansion of knowledge for treatment providers who are learning to conduct MDMA-assisted psychotherapy or MDMA research. This study is intended to look further into the personal and professional benefits spontaneously reported in narratives to the site team from the MT1 study participants. This will be done by collecting changes in self-compassion, burnout, professional quality of life, psychological inflexibility, and mood using validated measures in a larger sample of treatment providers, allowing for effect size calculations.
