Abstract
Schettino et al. [1] make a valuable contribution by proposing clearer criteria for distinguishing psychological support from psychotherapy in psychedelic treatment research. Together with related efforts to clarify psychological support [2], their analysis helps move the discussion towards clearer definitions and empirical comparability. It also highlights how difficult these models are to classify under current trial reporting. The wider debate has also drawn attention to the poor specification of the psychotherapeutic component in psychedelic treatment, as well as to disagreement about whether safety-focused and efficacy-relevant interpersonal processes can be cleanly separated [[3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]].
