On January 23, 2013, MAPS coordinated an all-day training in San Francisco, Calif., for new adherence raters for our MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD research program. Adherence raters establish and assess therapist adherence to the Treatment Manual in conducting MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, in order to help assure data quality and standardization. Adherence raters are either licensed therapists or are in school or training to be licensed therapists. The training was led by lead adherence rater Evan Sola, M.A., MAPS Executive and Clinical Research Assistant Linnae Ponté, and MAPS Clinical Research Assistant Colin Hennigan.
