Psychedelic-assisted therapy has shown early promise in the treatment of eating disorders. However, there is a lack of insight into the level of knowledge eating disorder specialists have about it, as well as attitudes and beliefs surrounding this potential treatment. Our study aims to identify perspectives of psychedelic-assisted therapy from clinicians 'out there' in the eating disorder field.
