Quality of reporting on psychological interventions in psychedelic treatments: a systematic review

A total of 45 studies on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy were reviewed, focusing on treatments involving psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, or ayahuasca.

• Psychological interventions in psychedelic treatments varied significantly between studies.
• The quality of information reported about these interventions was generally low.
• Studies using MDMA showed more uniformity in psychotherapy practices and provided more procedural details.
• Improved reporting standards for psychological interventions could enhance the replicability and generalizability of research outcomes.
