Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a new and specialized form of therapy that takes place during ketamine infusions. It involves psychotherapists who have experience with and knowledge about ketamine and its effects on the brain. While the patient is hooked to the IV, a licensed practitioner sits with them and conducts a therapy session.
