This review explores the multifaceted nature of PTSD, emphasising its intricate predisposing and maintaining factors and explores the potential of psilocybin, a classical psychedelic, as a therapeutic agent. This review synthesises recent literature on the safety, efficacy and proposed mechanisms of action and change of psychedelic therapies for psychiatric conditions associated with traumatic stress, including treatment-resistant depression, end-of-life anxiety and anorexia nervosa. Correspondingly, it proposes a conceptual framework for psilocybin treatment in PTSD, framing the condition as a complex, maladaptive interpretive framework that is both predetermined and over-determined. A clinical narrative illustrates how psilocybin's unique psychopharmacological properties and catalysed subjective effects may facilitate therapeutic progress by disrupting this rigid and restricting framework.
