A licensed psychiatrist surrendered her medical license and police recommended criminal charges after video from a clinical trial showed what prosecutors later called inappropriate physical contact during MDMA-assisted therapy. How did a trial run by a major nonprofit, with cameras rolling and a therapist whose license had lapsed, become the setting for allegations that would take nearly a decade to surface?
In this episode, we chronicle the sequence of events from enrollment through the final dosing session and the regulatory fallout, laying out who was involved, what the recorded sessions showed, and the structural rule that allowed an unlicensed therapist to participate. How did the trial’s own policies contribute to what happened to the first patient?
Person: Meaghan Buisson
Event: MDMA-assisted psychotherapy trial dosing sessions
Organization: MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies)
Therapists: Richard Yensen and Donna Dryer
Date enrolled: December 2014
- Meaghan Buisson was the first patient enrolled in the cohort in December 2014.
- Buisson completed her final formal trial procedures in June 2016, with the final dosing session in October 2015.
- Richard Yensen’s psychologist license had lapsed in 2009, but MAPS policy required only one current medical license per session.
- Video recordings of dosing sessions existed and later matched Buisson’s allegations of physical contact such as cuddling and spoons.
- The case led to a licensed psychiatrist surrendering her medical license and police recommending criminal charges, though no convictions were recorded.
