Embracing the revival of psychedelic research and the discovery of new therapeutic uses, clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Louis Miller discusses what is happening today in psychedelic medicine--and what will happen in the future--with top researchers and thinkers in this field, including Rick Doblin, Stanislav Grof, James Fadiman, Julie Holland, Dennis McKenna, David Nichols, Charles Grob, Phil Wolfson, Michael and Annie Mithoefer, Roland Griffiths, Katherine MacLean, and Robert Whitaker.

Dr. Miller and his contributors cover the tumultuous history of early psychedelic research brought to a halt 50 years ago by the U.S. government as well as offering non-technical summaries of the most recent studies with MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, and ayahuasca. They explore the biochemistry of consciousness and the use of psychedelics for self-discovery and healing. They discuss the use of psilocybin for releasing fear in the terminally ill and the potential for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in the treatment of PTSD. They examine Dr. Charles Grob’s research on the indigenous use and therapeutic properties of ayahuasca and Dr. Gabor Mate’s attempt to transport this plant medicine to a clinical setting with the help of Canada’s Department of National Health.

Dr. Miller and his contributors explore the ongoing efforts to restore psychedelic therapies to the health field, the growing threat of overmedication by the pharmaceutical industry, and the links between psychiatric drugs and mental illness. They also discuss the newly shifting political climate and the push for new research, offering hope for an end to the War on Drugs and a potential renaissance of research into psychedelic medicines around the world.

Psychedelic Medicine The Healing Powers of LSD MDMA Psilocybin and Ayahuasca 9781620556979 Medicine Health Science Books Reviews

• This book takes the form of a series of interviews with researchers who have experience with LSD, mushrooms, and other psychedelics. It is generally pro-psychedelic as medications with potential for some mental disorders, including drug addiction, depression, alcoholism, and so forth. But most of this is opinion and vague recollections of anecdotal experiences. I have no doubt these substances ought to be more readily available to researchers, a position I held well before reading this book (placing them in Schedule I, despite the absolute knowledge that they are neither toxic nor addictive, is absurd). But I gained very little hard knowledge, either. This is more of a casual read, with no real value for research into the subject.
• Very lively and informative. The audio sources bring a sense of connectedness with the interviewees in this very fascinating area.
• An excellent overview that truly gives the reader a full understanding of the healing potential of these medicines. I especially loved the chapter that outlined the current protocol for mood disorders such as depression because it becomes even more apparent that we need more research to be done now.
• A really important book. It's much more comprehensive than any other book on this subject that I know of. The interview style of the book makes a lot of sense given that the research is still in an early stage, and there is a lot of political hurdles that need to be discussed.
• Psychedelic Medicine is a series of interviews with leading scientists and doctors who have researched psychedelics for various types of therapy. It takes you through the potential of psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, and ayahuasca to treat with great efficacy and low side effects. There's an excellent chapter on the reality of antidepressants and antipsychotics, which rob patients of their emotions entirely, and have many side effects. It explains what happened that MDMA, a promising and successful treatment while it was legal, was made Schedule I in 1985, and the new research that may make it legal again in 2021. The interview format is a little distracting, but it introduces you to the most important voices in psychedelic research today. I recommend the book for people interested in this topic.
• I need to give it a proper read from start to finish. It reads like a dialogue/interview, rather than a narrative-driven exploration of the topic. It is a series of interviews with​ experienced people in the field.
• Awesome book, great wealth of knowledge.
• Reading this book is a magnificent adventure. I owe my respect towards the relevant involved parties
