Psychedelic Revival

This definitive reference book will demystify and destigmatize psychedelics for both a professional and lay audience by highlighting diverse perspectives and accounts of their healing power. Psychedelic research and therapy receive significant focus, balanced with subjective accounts from people who use psychedelics for a variety of purposes and the benefits they draw from their experiences. Part 1 focuses on the Western context of science and psychotherapy, Part 2 turns to Indigenous and shamanic roots, Part 3 explores the psychedelic shadow, and Part 4 examines traditional and recreational uses of psychedelics.

A who's who of experts and luminaries have agreed to interviews, including MAPS founder Rick Doblin and bestseller Michael Pollan. In addition to an overview of the numerous drugs and plant medicines popularized by the psychedelic renaissance, the book will also include practical considerations for psychedelic therapists and guides drawn from a variety of professional sources.
