Ketamine – Psychotherapy – Brain stimulation
In recent years, ketamine has been increasingly used to treat depression, but also PTSD and addiction. Unfortunately, the substance is usually used without psychotherapeutic support. This significantly reduces its therapeutic potential.
Psychotherapy, regardless of the method used, becomes more efficient with ketamine. Fewer therapy sessions are usually required, and the results are longer-lasting and more sustainable. However, many therapists are still reluctant to use dissociative substances, or there is a lack of interdisciplinary networking between doctors and psychological psychotherapists.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, and neurofeedback have been around for many years. Their effectiveness has been proven and some of the indications are reflected in the guidelines. However, their use is still limited to a few centers or practices.
The combination of these methods in particular offers the possibility of differentiated and individualized multimodal therapy, which has clear advantages for both patients and the healthcare system.
The international conference Ketamine – Psychotherapy – Brain Stimulation aims to bring these methods together, inform interested colleagues about the current state of research, and demonstrate practical applications.
Several high-profile speakers from several countries have already been recruited for this purpose. There will be specialist lectures and exercises in small groups, including self-experience using the methods described.
The lectures will be bilingual (English will be translated into German and vice versa). Small groups will be offered in both English and German.
The event is recognized as continuing education by the State Medical Association, and CME credits have been requested.
