Adherence Rating
The Adherence Rater Program is completing its sixth Adherence Rater Training this month. Adherence Raters are mental health professionals who review session videos from the MAPS-sponsored clinical trials to ensure adherence to the treatment manual and support ongoing therapist oversight. Over the past year, our small-but-mighty team of 48 Adherence Raters has reviewed and rated over a thousand hours of session footage in five different languages for the MAPS-sponsored trials!
Supervision and Consultation
The Supervision Program continues to provide oversight and support to therapists working on the MAPS-sponsored and Investigator-Initiated trials of MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD. Over the past year, Supervisors have conducted nearly 150 Supervision Meetings with therapists working on the MAPS-sponsored trials.
Planning efforts are underway for our Supervision Program which will support the many MAPS trained MDMA-assisted therapy practitioners that hope to offer this treatment modality in a post FDA approval world. Planning efforts include the development of upcoming Supervisor Training events.
Supervision and Consultation are provided to MAPS-sponsored and Investigator-Initiated Trials all over the world. Starting this month, Consultation provided by MAPS Certified Supervisors is also supporting the use of MDMA-assisted therapy in Switzerland in a clinical setting, where Compassionate Use guidelines allow for the use of psychedelic therapies.
