Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether psilocybin-assisted group psychotherapy is a safe and feasible treatment for demoralization in long-term AIDS survivors (LTAS).

Detailed description

This study is an open-label mixed-methods pilot study of an individual oral psilocybin drug session combined with ten sessions of an evidence-based, manualized brief group psychotherapy for existential distress in palliative care patients.

Change in Average Score on Subscales of Group Questionnaire Pre-drug vs Post-drugMean scores averaged over 2 weeks pre-medication compared to 3 weeks post-medication.The Group Questionnaire is a self-report measure with three sub-scales that measure Positive Bonding, Positive Working and Negative Relationship dimensions of the relationships at 3 levels: between group members, between group members and group therapists, and between group members and the group as a whole. Each subscale score is calculated by summation of the ratings across all three levels for each subscale. Positive Bonding scores range from 13 to 91 with higher scores indicating a better outcome. Positive Working scores range 8 to 56 with higher scores indicating a better outcome. Negative Relationship scores range 9 to 63 with higher scores indicating worse outcomes.
