[Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in palliative medicine].

Depression, anxiety and existential distress associated with terminal illness have a major impact on quality of life among palliative care patients. Psychedelics are emerging as catalysts for reflective, introspective and sometimes spiritual exploration as part of psychotherapy, with potentially rapid and long-lasting multiple beneficial effects. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) combines preparation, substance intake, and integration of experiences to facilitate profound psychospiritual change.

[Assessment of the Palliative Performance Scale in a specialized palliative care unit].

The assessment of vital prognosis in the palliative setting is essential to provide care adapted to the patient's needs. The objective of this research was to compare the survival of patients in our specialized palliative care unit with that estimated by the "Palliative Performance Scale" (PPSv2) described in the literature, in order to better define the therapeutic project. Our results are comparable to those of the selected studies up to the PPSV level of 30%.
