Abstract
Transcripts of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy sessions were analyzed to better understand the role that changes in speech content may play in this promising new form of treatment. MDMA-assisted sessions compared to non-MDMA sessions showed differences in affective, feel, and conjunction word use. Social word use did not significantly differ between sessions.
