In this conversation, Dr. James Rucker shares his journey into psychiatry, influenced by personal experiences with mental health and a fascination with the brain. He discusses the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy, the importance of context in clinical trials, and the potential of psychedelics to catalyze change in mental health treatment. Dr. Rucker also emphasizes the significance of connection and understanding in therapy, I have been personally inspired by Dr Rucker’s work and am excited to share some of his story with the Koggno community.https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/james-ruckerhttps://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/psychedelic-assisted-treatment-for-substance-use-disorder-a-narrahttps://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/uk-medical-cannabis-registry-a-case-series-analyzing-clinical-outKeywords: psychiatry, mental health, psychedelic therapy, clinical trials
