| | Psychedelic psychotherapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For the most part, however, since the early 1970s psychedelic therapy has been conducted by an underground network of therapists who consider the potential benefits of psychedelic psychotherapy to be so great as to justify risking their careers and freedom by clandestinely conducting therapy sessions using illegal substances. | | | Psycholytic therapy is historically the predominant approach to psychedelic psychotherapy in Europe. | | | The effects of psychedelic drugs on the human mind are complex, varied and difficult to characterize, and as a result many different "flavors" of psychedelic psychotherapy have been developed by individual practitioners. |

| | Psychotherapy - free-definition |
| | Psychotherapy is a set of techniques believed to cure or to help solve behavioral and other psychological problems in humans. | | | Psychoanalysis was the earliest form of psychotherapy, but many other theories and techniques are now used by psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, personal growth facilitators and social workers. | | | This is especially true of the psychodynamic schools of psychotherapy, which today include Jungian therapy and Psychodrama. |

| | Although both positive and negative contents of the subconscious mind are released by the psychedelic drugs, the experiences of the patient are often deeply positive in tone and sometimes religious in nature. | | | The usual verbal control systems are not as available to the therapist in the psychedelic drug session as in ordinary consciousness. | | | "Psychedelic peak" refers to the type of transcendental or cosmic experience that can occur during the session, and "psychotherapy" refers to the human interaction that is prerequisite to personal growth and session preparation. |

| | Psychedelic Agents with Autistic Children |
| | Psychedelic drugs were viewed as a powerful means of undermining an intractable defense system and thereby making the patient more receptive to contact and communication with others. | | | Finally, psychedelic therapy with psychotic children seems most effective in natural, flexible settings that are reasonably free of artificiality, experimental restrictions on spontaneous behavior, and mechanically administered procedures. | | | This feature of their method was consistent with the greater attention paid to individual patient differences and their general orientation to psychedelic therapy as a psychopharmacological process. |

| | LSD Psychotherapy - Preface |
| | Experiences occurring in psychedelic and holotropic sessions cannot be described in terms of the narrow and superficial conceptual model used in academic psychiatry and psychology, which is limited to biology, postnatal biography, and the Freudian individual unconscious. | | | However, the situation is very different in regard to its revolutionary findings concerning the nature of the psyche and human consciousness; their relevance for psychiatry and psychology is independent from the fate of this therapeutic modality. | | | As I have described in The Adventure of Self-Discovery, a book specifically discussing the theory and practice of Holotropic Breathwork, the spectrum of the experiences evoked by this procedure is practically identical with that of psychedelic sessions. |

| | Therapeutic application of LSD and related drugs |
| | The diversity of the approaches to therapeutic use of psychedelics makes the evidence supporting their value for therapy all the more impressive. | | | Some efforts have been made to develop new, psychedelic therapies specifically grounded in the drug-state phenomena and the new models of the psyche that have been suggested by the psychedelic experience. | | | In addition, psychedelics have been used with autistic children, to make them more responsive and to improve behavior and attitudes; with terminal cancer patients, to ease both the physical pain and the anguish of dying; and with adult schizophrenics, to condense the psychosis temporarily and to help predict its course of development. |

| | ITA Conference Presenter Information |
| | As psychedelic researchers are slowly reentering their laboratories, it is an opportune time to ponder how Western culture could move beyond its obsession with the Drug War to the integration of psychedelic medicine into psychiatry and psychology. | | | This workshop is intended for people either interested in conducting their own clinical research with psychedelics or in learning about ongoing research currently underway. | | | Mithoefer is the principal investigator in the first U.S. study into the effectiveness of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for chronic PTSD. |

| | Beyond Psychoanalysis - The Future of Psychiatry: Conceptual Challenges to Psychiatry, Psychology, and Psychotherapy by ... |
| | The goal in traditional psychotherapies is to reach an intellectual understanding of how the psyche functions and why the symptoms develop and to derive from this understanding a technique and strategy that would make it possible to correct thei emotional functioning of the clients. | | | This represents a great advantage in comparison with verbal psychotherapy, where the client presents a broad array of information of various kind and the therapist has to decide what is important, what is irrelevant, and where the client is blocking. | | | Among modern means of inducing holotropic states of consciousness are pure active principles isolated from psychedelic plants (mescaline, psilocybine, tryptamine derivatives, harmaline, ibogaine, cannabinols, and others), substances synthetized in the laboratory (LSD, amphetamine entheogens, and ketamine) (Shulgin and Shulgin 1991), and powerful experiential forms of psychotherapy, such as hypnosis, neo-Reichian approaches, primal therapy, and rebirthing. |

| | Another area where therapy was used successfully was in relieving pain and anxiety in terminal cancer (Kast, 1964). | | | Many pioneers gave their careers to this field, hoping that psychedelic drugs could be the Holy Grail for psychiatry - like the microscope is to biology or the telescope is to astronomy - an essential tool to explore the parts of the internal world that are usually inaccessible (Grof 1993). | | | But many of those early pioneers of psychedelic research continue to promote this research for the field of mental health. |

| | The History of Psychedelic Therapy with the Dying |
| | Another series of observations that was later integrated into the concept of psychedelic therapy for the dying originated in the Psychiatric Research Institute in Prague, Czechoslovakia. | | | It seemed possible that her depression and anxiety, although reactive in nature and well substantiated by a painful life situation, might respond favorably to LSD therapy, as was the case in other conditions of a psychogenic nature. | | | As a result of such experiences the individual ceases to be concerned about his or her own physical demise and begins to see it as a natural phenomenon of the cycling of the life force. |

| | Convinced of the healing power of psychedelic drugs, Doblin later began to train as an underground therapist, beginning by sitting in on therapy sessions aided by LSD and MDMA. | | | But he sees the South Carolina trial as a key victory, and hopes that doctors and regulators will eventually change their minds if research proves that MDMA and other psychedelic drugs are safe and clinically effective. | | | The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), based in Sarasota, Florida, has been arguing since the mid-1980s that MDMA is a powerful therapeutic tool. |

| | This treatment method represents an extension and modification of psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy Traumatic experiences from childhood are relived, with emphasis on emotional abreaction and integration resulting in valuable insights (Grof, 1980). | | | The immediate goal of such therapy was to achieve a peak or transcendental experience using a high dose of psychedelics, usually 350-450 mcg. | | | She was granted an LSD session and experienced a psychedelic, peak experience, which relieved her depression and anxiety. |

| | She has completed her master's degree in psychotherapy, and is in the process of completing 3,000 hours of a client-work internship necessary to become a licensed therapist. | | | Responsible use of psychedelics, she said, means being sufficiently prepared for the session, having a guide on hand at all times and knowing how to "integrate" the experience afterward. | | | Regardless of what psychological therapeutics psychedelics may offer, they remain illicit and won't likely be legal, even for research, any time soon. |

| | The second method involves a much smaller number of psychedelic sessions or even a single one, but at a higher dosage in order to produce an experience with such an overwhelming impact as to change radically the patient's view of the world and himself in a healthful and therapeutic manner. | | | The first method involves a small dose technique (25 to 100 mcg of LSD) in weekly or bi-weekly sessions to facilitate the release of unconscious material and aid psychotherapy or group therapy. | | | The creation and development of this attitude incorporates a considerable amount of conventional and verbal psychotherapy as well as conventional LSD or psycholytic therapy of the kind exemplified by Sandison, Leuner, Whittaker, and others. |

| | Among possible ways to mass-market psychotherapy, a psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, that is, a psycholytic therapy, is, to my thought, the most promising possibility on the horizon. | | | The possibility of using psychedelics as a total program of psychotherapy--that is, "psychedelic psychotherapy" as distinct from "psycholytic" or psychedelic-assisted verbal psychotherapy--has been explored and found too hit-and-miss for marketting success. | | | Here then is work for specialists in the psychology of psychedelics: developing a clinical technique that maximizes the therapeutic utility of the drugs. |

Additionally, numerous contemporary techniques of psychedelic psychotherapy have also been attempted, utilizing a wide range of substances--sometimes with a nod toward traditional concepts, sometimes with entirely novel approaches. | | | Methods of working with these tools, including the processes developed by Salvador Roquet, Stanislav Grof, and "underground" practitioners, will be described. |
