PROFESSOR DAVID NUTT - PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY – NEW NEUROSCIENTIF...iCAADEvents
The world is entering a new phase of psychiatric treatments. After the psychotherapy and medical treatment phases in the last century, we are at the start of the phase where we use drugs to assist and empower psychotherapeutic processes. The origins of this exciting new development are the massive growth of neuropsychopharmacology, particularly in relation to the use of psychedelics (e.g. LSD, Psilocybin) and entactogens (e.g. MDMA). New research on the impact of these drugs on brain functions show clear impacts on brain processes that contribute to maladaptive behavioural processes. Parallel research has demostrated e cacy for psilocybin and MDMA in disorders such as resistant depression and PTSD. In this ground-breaking talk, Professor Nutt will cover these remarkable new developments and show how they may be used more broadly in psychiatry/psychotherapy in the future.

Influence of Music on Mental Health.pptxliakim1703
In an effort to ascertain the efficiency of music as a means of therapy to provide comfort to people undergoing various stressors and the effects that can be expected on such people.
This presentation, entitled "Oh What Songs of the Heart: Experiencing the Power of Music in our Everyday Lives" was presented by Dr. Brian Ebie and Laura Hoopes Ebie for the Singles Conference at in Kirtland, Ohio for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Kirtland Stake. In the presentation, the authors discussed the power of music to influence emotions and even cognitive development. Interspersing the presentation with scriptural and scientific references, as well as quotes from famous philosophers and LDS church leaders, the presentation offers both scientific and anecdotal approaches to the use of music in our every-day lives.
Lively nontechnical discussion of how the gift of music can have positive effects on health and disease. Music as a part of the health care culture is discussed from the prehistoric era to present day
Human-Music Relationship and Its Healing Properties!.pptxvivalatranquility
Listening to or engaging in music-making activities stimulates the mind, promotes cognitive function, and enhances brain health. Music can be used effectively in therapeutic Interventions for Individuals to improve their cognitive health and quality of life. To know more read it.
People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
So while music probably doesn't cause us to have horrible relationships with others it could be a factor in our emotional wellbeing. So the heartbreak, rejection and pain you suffer is probably not because of your music, but it may be why you recover as quickly afterward

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
7. Active Listening
“Once you’ve taught yourself the tools to engage in active listening, you
can take those tools everywhere. Out into life. And the whole world
becomes music, the whole world becomes more beautiful. And that’s
absolutely part of my intent… You can take those habits of awareness
into the daily world and be more self-aware, more awake in your
waking time, instead of being a sleepwalker while awake.”
-Robert Rich interview with Mendel Kaelen
8. Listening to Music is
a Meditative Act
• Active/Deep Listening:
The overthinking, conditioned,
calculative “monkey-mind”
settles and enters a space of
pure curiosity, receptivity, and
wonder.
• Practicing listening leads to
increased awareness of the
world around us – World
becomes more beautiful, but
also more painful, at least for
a while.
9. Everything Is Musical
• All sound is potentially musical, consisting
of a series of calls and responses (e.g.
ocean waves)
• Each session is potentially musical.
Responding to the call is important.
• Flow of session more important than
content?
• Resonance –when two musical instruments
are held next to each other, one is played,
and they vibrate at same frequency.
Human beings also resonate.
• Our work as therapists is to listen, attune,
resonate, and harmonize.
10. Sound and
Consciousness
“I discovered that with
consciousness and using
sound, we can hear around
corners, we can hear
through the dark… Hearing
allowed me to relocate
consciousness, out into
space and away from this
cabin between the ears.”
–Robert Rich
11. Slow Time
• Under the influence of ketamine, perception
of time changes.
• Brain activity slows and enters alpha-theta
state.
• Mind disengages from calculative mode and
let’s go of expectations and anticipation.
Predictive capacity is reduced. Access to
meditative mode is facilitated.
• Meditative mode allows us to listen to sound
“as it is” instead of listening “for” something
(e. g. your favorite part of a track).
• You are not going out to meet the song. The
song is coming to meet you.
13. Frisson
• “Aesthetic chills” or “goosebumps”
resulting from deep appreciation of
beauty or meaning in a piece of art or
music.
• Resulting from the release of adrenaline
to counteract increased serotonin levels.
• The stimuli that produce this response
are specific to each individual.
• Enhanced by the temperature of the
environment. Cool listening rooms and
cinemas may enhance the experience.
• Enhanced by ketamine. “This is like
frisson turned up to 11!”and“The shaking
is my body telling me that this is a good
place to be.”
Artist: Michael Divine
14. SONIC ALCHEMY
The use of music,
in combination with
psychedelics and the
attunement of the facilitator,
to resonate with and uplift
the vibrational frequencies
of the journeyer.
15. Attention as Doorway
for Transformation
• What if we are able to literally attune
to and uplift our client’s vibrations
just by focusing our attention on
their experience and allowing the
music to move us?
• Tips: Keep room a little chilly –
important not to be TOO
comfortable. Have empty stomach.
Use music that you LIKE.
16. Timing of Interventions
• Healing is dramatic. Music is dramatic. Use
these features to optimize the impact of
your interventions.
• When you know the music well, you can
time interventions accordingly, to “prime”
the client.
• Example: Reminder - of when it is time to
swallow the lozenge - spoken between
tracks (instead of in the middle of a track).
• Example: Reciting back the client’s
intention just before the climax of a track.
18. More Complex Timbre → Greater Euphoria?
• Timbre = Tone color or quality (distinct from pitch or frequency)
• Timbre is critical for “creating dynamic structure, tension and release
in a work to provide the conditions for a listener to be emotionally
moved in the manner intended by the composer.”*
• There is some evidence that timbre – or complex changes in timbre -
increases frisson or chill response.
• Electronic/digital music composition may have greater potential to
create rich timbre – or complex changes in timbre.

Music Studies Today. Systematische Musikwissenschaft. Springer VS, Wiesbaden.
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-17740-9_1
19. Overtone-Based Music Better than Classical?
• Researchers analyzed the effects of the musical genre played during sessions of a
psilocybin study for tobacco smoking cessation.
• Participants (N = 10) received psilocybin (20−30 mg/70 kg) in two sessions, each
with a different musical genre (Western classical versus overtone-based).
• Mystical experiences scores tended to be higher in overtone-based sessions than
in Western classical sessions.
• Researchers founds slight preference for overtone-based playlist
• Findings call into question whether Western classical music typically played in
psychedelic sessions holds unique benefit.*

20. Two Approaches to Making Playlists
• “Preset” Approach: Having predetermined playlist for journey
• Pros:
• Therapist does not have to think about “managing” the music
• Therapist knows the music.
• (In research) Greater control over a potentially confounding variable (i.e.
the music)
• “Live” Approach: Creating playlist as you go, adapting to each client’s
personal process
• Pros:
• Therapist able to change music to respond to in-the-moment, evolving
emotional landscape
• Greater resonance/acceptance by client (?)
From: Barrett, F.S., Preller, K.H. and Kaelen, M. (2018). Psychedelics and music: neuroscience and
therapeutic implications. International Review of Psychiatry, 30(4), pp.350-362.
21. Critiques of Live Approach
• May distract therapist’s attention from the therapeutic process
• Does not require familiarity with the playlist
• Technology, like Wavepaths, that create personalized, adaptive music
to optimize therapeutic outcomes is still in development
• “Research is yet to fully comprehend the specific parameters of
music that dictate positive therapeutic results.” (M. Kaelen)
• Positive therapeutic outcomes from hundreds of sessions using preset
playlists don’t lie!
22. Critiques of Preset Approach
• An individual’s journey on a given day is not going to necessary
conform to a predetermined arc
• Doesn’t make room to respond organically to the spontaneous
call-and-response of the journey
• Over-attachment to “pet” playlists may prime the field with certain
expectations and lead to explicit/implicit judgment of client or client’s
process..
• May lead to less resonance with the material
23. Research into Resistance
• Three factors to consider in assessing resistance to selected music:
• The type of music (like/dislike)
• Match to their process (resonance/lack of resonance)
• The material that the music is eliciting (openness/resistance)*
• Resistance may reflect power and control dynamics, or transference or
countertransference dynamics
• How resistance will be managed should be made explicit during intake
• Therapist should track - and potentially explore - resistance but avoid
overanalyzing client’s process
• Therapist should be flexible to adjusting/changing music as needed

D., & Carhart-Harris, R. (2018). The hidden therapist: evidence for a central role of music in psychedelic
therapy. Psychopharmacology, 235(2), 505–519. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-017-4820-5
25. Music as a Support and
Guide for the Experience
• Dr. Stanislav Grof describes
the role of music as creating
“…a continuous carrier wave
that helps patients to
overcome difficult parts of
the sessions and move
through impasses” (Grof,
LSD Psychotherapy, 2008)
Artist: Joshua Levin
26. Playlists Essentials
• Flow: Playlists take people on a
journey through inner world.
Playlist should have beginning,
middle, and end (or opening,
active, and closing)
• Uplifting: Ultimate goal should
be to uplift the spirit and open
the heart
• Broad expressive range:
As the totality of one’s life and
memories contain the full range
of emotions, the playlist should
mirror this, helping the client to
reconnect with old memories
and deep emotions of sadness,
grief, surrender, joy, and love
Artist: Adam Scott Miller
27. Playlists Essentials
• Shadow: Use it!
“One of the things that creates
depth or layering of experience in an
artwork is that willingness to go into
shadows. I think that the
fundamental difference between
something that’s merely pretty and
something beautiful or deeply
moving is that for something to be
beautiful it needs to contain the
thanatotic. It needs to contain the
shadows, the death within it, as well
as the urge to life.”
–Robert Rich
Artist: Adam Scott Miller
28. Ketamine +
Ambient Music =
Synergy
• Ambient tracks create
atmospheres that are rich in
timbre, texture, spaciousness
• Ethereal sounds – subtle,
light, airy, immaterial,
weightless – enhance
expansive states
• Tension and release
29. With Ketamine,
Ambient Music is Best,
AND…
• Prominent beat/rhythm can help
move someone through the
experience.
• Can be TOO Ambient (e. g. singing
bowls or gongs for 20 minutes) –
does not carry the experience.
• You don’t have to sacrifice
melody! Even though melodies
are dependent to some degree on
predictive capacity, which is
compromised with ketamine,
beautiful melodies at the right
time can be incredibly powerful!
30. Track Selection and
Arrangement
• Match tracks to the arc of
the medicine effects
• e. g. PEAK period is 15 - 45
minutes after taking
• Unfamiliar music is better-
Lessened engagement of
predictive mapping
• Lyrics can be distracting
and should be used
sparingly (but not
prohibited!)
Artist: Bernart Amygdalah
31. Track Selection and Arrangement Continued
• Have playlist vetted (BY YOU) and picked out before hand.
Ideally, you won’t have to worry (and spend attention)
managing the playlist.
• Have several playlists available that you also know well that
you can use if needed to adapt or change music style
• Having another colleague or group of colleagues (on a
listserv for example) that you can share playlists with and get
feedback is nice.
32. Track Selection and Arrangement Continued
• Track selection should be informed – but not dictated – by an
understanding of the client’s history.
• Certain content should be avoided. Explore client’s
relationship with music during intake to identify triggers.
• Ultimate selection of music is purview of therapist. Grof: “It
is useful to discuss the subject’s tastes before the session
and get an idea of his or her preferences, idiosyncrasies, and
general level of musical sophistication. The actual selection
usually reflects more the sitters’ understanding of the
process than the experient’s choice.”*

37. Audio Hardware Options
Headphones
• Immersive
• Portable
• Noise canceling option to filter out background noise
• Can make it difficult for the client to hear the therapist
• Open back headphones help
• I have used Zoom and a second device to pipe audio into the
headphones which works nicely
• Practice with a friend to dial it in
• A second audio device is needed for the therapist to be
able to track the playlist and time their interventions
38. Audio Hardware Options
Bluetooth Speakers
•More affordable than high quality surround sound
speakers
•Portable
•More than sufficient for most folks
•Can be distorted at higher volumes
•Not as immersive as headphones or surround sound
•Lower end notes like bass lines are either quiet or
missing
39. Audio Hardware Options
Surround Sound Speakers with Subwoofer
•Fills the room with sound, immersive for both client
and therapist.
•Music often has movement in space that can only be
captured with 5.1 systems and up.
•Provides a richer range than bluetooth speakers
•Difficult in most settings to play loudly enough to be
as immersive as headphones
•This is my ideal setup
40. Software
Spotify
• Can be used on most devices (Desktop, Laptop, tablets, phone)
• User friendly
Audition, Traktor, Ableton, Garageband
• Needs more computing power to run (Desktop, Laptop)
• Enables custom playlist mixes that transition smoothly and
have some overlapping sounds or repeated themes.
• Gives more of a sense of a sonic tapestry rather than a playlist
of individual songs
• Steeper learning curve
• Endless options
41. Software
Spotify
• Settings:
• Purchase a premium account
• No advertising in medicine space!!
• Download the playlist
• Crossfade - On (8 – 12 seconds)
• Auto-Play - Off
• Normalize Volume – On
• Download Quality – Very High
• Shuffle - Off
42. General Principles and Tips
• Test it before the session to ensure everything is properly
powered/charged, connected, adjusted, etc.
• Be able to adjust the volume, change the track, know where you are
in the playlist, etc without getting up
• Optimize sound setup as heard from the position of the client
• Equipment should be minimally distracting and should not inhibit the
clients movements
• All alarms, notifications and other interpreting noises turned OFF!!
