Standing in the Circle with Cancer week 3: Researchers Katherine MacLean and Yvan Beaussant
Q: What kind of container is required for psychedelic work with cancer patients?
A multi-layered container is essential: self-work by the patient, strong social support, engagement with medical teams, and access to psychosocial resources, all within a careful therapeutic framework that emphasizes safety and the therapeutic process as central.
