VolteFace: Legitimising MDMA, ‘The Love Drug’, For Couples Therapy

Summary: Rosalind Stone of The Beckley Foundation writes for VolteFace about research into the therapeutic use of MDMA for couples, highlighting a MAPS-sponsored clinical study of MDMA as an adjunct to Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for couples in which one member has posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Stone describes the container of the therapy as “a safe space in which they can emotionally explore together, and begin, within the context of their relationship, to heal the PTSD-suffering partner’s trauma.”
