Developing Guidelines and Competencies for the Training of Psychedelic Therapists, Janis Phelps, 2017

Developing Guidelines and Competencies for the Training of Psychedelic Therapists Janis Phelps Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 2017, 1–38 DOI: 10.1177/0022167817711304   Abstract Research since the 1950s has shown that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has had significant positive effects in reductions of specific clinical symptoms and increases in quality of life as measured on a variety of indices. The intensity of focus on evidence-based outcomes, however, has resulted in a paucity of active discussions and research on the core competencies of the therapists themselves. The context of the history of psychedelic research reveals how this neglect of therapist variables occurred. With current discussions of Phase 3 and expanded access [...]

Efficacy and Enlightenment: LSD Psychotherapy and the Drug Amendments of 1962, Matthew ORAM, 2012

Efficacy and Enlightenment: LSD Psychotherapy and the Drug Amendments of 1962 Matthew ORAM Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, 2012, Volume 69, Number 2, 221-250. doi:10.1093/jhmas/jrs050   ABSTRACT. The decline in therapeutic research with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the United States over the course of the 1960s has commonly been attributed to the growing controversy surrounding its recreational use. However, research difficulties played an equal role in LSD psychotherapy’s demise, as they frustrated researchers’ efforts to clearly establish the efficacy of treatment. Once the Kefauver Harris Drug Amendments of 1962 introduced the requirement that proof of efficacy be established through controlled clinical [...]

A Historical Review of Psychedelic Clinical Studies Ismael Apud The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, 2016, Vol. 48, No. 2, 150-167.   ABSTRACT: In the second half of the twentieth century, when psychopharmacology was not developed as we know it today and psychoanalysis was an influential school, various psychiatrists began to develop a ‘pharmacology of consciousness,’ and became interested in hallucinogens as new paths for accessing the unconscious. However, with the psychedelic model, the pharmacology of consciousness turned also into a ‘pharmacology of spirituality,’ focused on the use of spiritual experiences as catalyzers of psychological change.
