Psykologvirke
Data updated
Norway
Oslo-based private psychology clinic of 30 psychologists founded by Ivar Goksøyr, and the first established psychology clinic in Norway to offer ketamine-assisted therapy following national approval. Psykologvirke trains mental health professionals in MDMA- and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, contributes to international educational frameworks, and Goksøyr is an active MAPS-certified MDMA therapist conducting clinical trials at Psykforsk, Østfold State Hospital.

Blossom’s read
Psykologvirke looks like a clinically credible, clinician-led Oslo practice rather than a pure training brand. Its psychedelic teaching appears strongest for mental health professionals who want a serious, evidence-aware introduction to MDMA- and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, with clear ties to Norway’s emerging research scene and to Ivar Goksøyr’s work at Psykforsk. It is probably best seen as a regional Nordic specialist with practical, research-adjacent teaching rather than a globally dominant school.
Who Psykologvirke is for
Best suited to licensed mental health professionals, particularly psychologists and other clinicians who already work with trauma, psychotherapy, or ketamine-related care. It also appears relevant to researchers and senior practitioners seeking an informed update rather than a beginner public course.
Prerequisites
The sources do not state a formal entry requirement for the course, but the framing is for healthcare personnel and mental health professionals. The organisation’s wider services are clearly clinician-facing, and the psychedelic lectures are positioned as professional education.
Accreditation & recognition
Psykologvirke states that Ivar W. Goksøyr co-authored a peer-reviewed Journal of Psychopharmacology paper on a consensus-based training curriculum for psychedelic, psycholytic, and entactogen-assisted psychotherapy, which suggests alignment with international educational thinking. I could not verify any formal CME/CE credit, official certification, or external accreditation for the Psykologvirke course from the sources found.
Cost
A publicly listed price was found for clinical treatment, not the course itself: ketamine-assisted therapy is listed at 7,500 NOK for 110 minutes, with evening/weekend pricing on request. I could not find a published tuition fee for the MDMA-assisted therapy training, only that it is offered online and involves video excerpts and lecture-based material.
What you walk away with
Learners appear to gain an introductory to applied understanding of MDMA-assisted therapy, including theory, rationale, history, research status, and video-based case material. The course description suggests practical familiarity with therapeutic principles that can inform trauma work, but no formal credentialing outcome was verified.
