| The origins of psychedelic therapy can be traced back to the pioneering work of Humphry Osmond and Abram Hoffer, with notable influence from Al Hubbard. Keith Ditman later replicated their methodology. This therapeutic approach aligns more closely with transpersonal psychology than with traditional psychoanalysis. | The origins of psychedelic therapy can be traced back to the pioneering work of Humphry Osmond and Abram Hoffer, with notable influence from Al Hubbard.

| The approach in psychedelic therapy diverges from that of conventional psychiatric treatments utilizing medications. Unlike daily unsupervised administration typical of conventional medications, contemporary psychedelic therapy involves a single session (or occasionally up to three sessions) within a therapeutic setting. Prior to the session, the therapeutic team prepares the patient for the experience and aids in the integration of insights post-treatment. During the session, the patient typically wears eyeshades and listens to music to enhance focus on the psychedelic encounter. The therapeutic team intervenes solely to offer reassurance in the event of adverse effects, such as anxiety or disorientation, ensuring a supportive and guided experience. | Psychedelic therapy differs from conventional psychiatric treatments utilizing traditional medications.
