In the paper, the researchers note that although psychedelic-assisted therapies have been demonstrated to be extremely beneficial for many patients, the 'mind-altering capabilities' of these drugs make their risks 'predominantly psychological.'
Many treatment providers reported issues with romantic transference and blurred professional boundaries during psychedelic therapy sessions, indicating a potential risk for practitioners.
