claimThe authors of the Montreal model report that a brief course of ketamine evokes psychological dynamics that resemble an accelerated short-term psychotherapy more closely than a course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
claimThe Montreal model utilizes concomitant psychotherapy, which allows patients to continue conventional psychotherapy sessions semi-independently of the ketamine treatment process at regular or as-needed frequencies.
referenceJ. Dore, B. Turnipseed, S. Dwyer, A. Turnipseed, J. Andries, G. Ascani, et al. published 'Ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP): patient demographics, clinical data and outcomes in three large practices administering ketamine with psychotherapy' in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs in 2019.
procedureThe Montreal model requires patients to engage in at least one hour of weekly evidence-based psychotherapy, beginning at least two weeks before the initiation of ketamine treatments.
claimThe Montreal model for ketamine treatment seeks to enhance patient engagement in evidence-based psychotherapy by leveraging ketamine's pro-cognitive and anti-suicide effects, as well as the psychological experiences of dosing sessions.
procedureThe Montreal model maintenance phase for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) consists of three forms: medication/neurostimulation, concomitant psychotherapy, and maintenance ketamine treatments.
claimThe personal significance of ketamine experiences is shaped by the framing provided to the patient, similar to how the interpretation of dreams varies across cultures and psychotherapy schools.
claimThe Montreal model for ketamine treatment does not mandate a specific type of psychotherapy, but instead requires the use of any evidence-based approach, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), that the patient is willing to pursue.
claimThe Montreal model clinical team observed that ketamine treatment differs from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) because termination of treatment is a critical consideration in psychotherapy, whereas it is generally only a subject of interest in psychiatry.
claimKetamine's rapid benefits against suicidality and the cognitive impairments of depression theoretically reduce obstacles to productive psychotherapy.
procedureThe Montreal model for ketamine treatment preparation involves nine specific goals: (1) establishing a treatment frame, (2) cultivating a therapeutic alliance, (3) psychoeducation and management of expectations, (4) determining behavioral treatment goals, (5) optimizing medications, (6) framing the ketamine experience, (7) trial mindfulness exercise, (8) music discussion, and (9) arranging for concomitant psychotherapy.
claimNo published clinical trial has explored the use of ketamine with concomitant psychotherapy to treat depression.
