	Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy for the Terminally Ill
		The development of psychedelics as medicine is also traced, first as an analgesic, then as an adjunct to psychotherapy with the terminally ill. As part of this review, current studies are cited and a proposed model of psychedelic- assisted psychotherapy using D.P.T. is evaluated.
		Psychedelic psychotherapy attempts to facilitate a peak, mystical experience resulting in a more peaceful, conscious, and spiritual death.
		Each psychedelic has different properties that may lend themselves to different personalities, but at this time DPT is the only non scheduled psychedelic which has been used to treat the terminally ill (MAPS, personal communication, March 18, 1997).

	Psychedelic psychotherapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychedelic psychotherapy in the broadest possible sense of the term is likely as old as humanity's ancient knowledge of hallucinogenic plants itself.
		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.

	Psychedelic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Psychedelic states are one of the stations on the spectrum of experiences elicited by sensory deprivation as well as by psychedelic substances.
		The impact of psychedelic drugs on western culture in the 1960s led to semantic drift in the use of the word "psychedelic", and it is now frequently applied to describe any brightly patterned or coloured object.

		Psychedelics were also used extensively in psychotherapy as experimental drugs in Europe and the United States for almost two decades.
		Psychedelic therapy, the second type, involved the use of a large dose (200 micrograms of LSD or more) in a single session; it was thought to be potentially helpful in reforming alcoholics and criminals as well as improving the lives of normal people.
		Psychedelic therapy for alcoholism was based on the assumption that one overwhelming experience could change the self-destructive drinking habits of a lifetime, and the hope that psychedelic drugs could produce such an experience.

	Psychedelic Psychotherapy - Alternative Alcoholism Treatment
		The technique of psychedelic psychotherapy has evolved as a specialized procedure with the goal of inducing an ego-dissolving transpersonal peak experience.
		The most intensive clinical studies of psychedelic psychotherapy (or "entheogenic" psychotherapy) were done in the United States and Europe from the early 1950s through the early 1970s.
		The same studies also demonstrate that this technique is highly effective in the treatment of patients with addiction to narcotics, neurotic disorders, psychosomatic illnesses, depression and personality disorders, as well as death anxiety in individuals dying from cancer or other incurable diseases.

	Wired News: Lucy In the Sky, With Therapists
		Folks ranging from computer executives to elderly women to church leaders are participating in psychotherapy enhanced by psychedelics, typically thought of as party enhancers for teenagers or burn-outs.
		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.

		Psychedelic drugs, such as LSD, Mescaline, Psilocybin, MDMA, DMT and their relations, occur in abundance throughout the natural world, and have been used by humankind for thousands of years.
		Initial work explored the possibility that psychedelics might be used as 'psychotomimetics' - to mimic the mental states of patients with schizophrenia (Osmond, 1957) - and many health professionals were encouraged to partake in self-discovery or shared psychedelic experiences with their patients.
		Psychedelics, with their short-term, time-limited use alongside psychotherapy, are not what the pharmaceutical giants are looking for.

	Single Versus Repeated Treatments in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy of Heroin Addiction
		Many studies suggested that hallucinogen-assisted (psychedelic) psychotherapy might be an efficient treatment for the addiction in the 1950's and 1960's (Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1979), but different methodologies made it difficult to generalize across studies.
		There will be up to 5 hours of psychotherapy provided after the first ketamine session to help patients to interpret and integrate their experience during the session into everyday life.
		During these psychotherapeutic sessions it is explained to the patients that the relief of their dependence from heroin will be induced in a special state of consciousness in which they will have deep experiences that will help them to realize the negative effects of heroin abuse, and the positive aspects of life without drugs.

	The Combination of Psychedelic and Aversive Approaches in Alcoholism Treatment - Eleusis
		Borodikin, MD The “Affective Contra-Attribution” method of alcoholism treatment consists of three stages: (1) an introductory psychotherapeutic stage; (2) psychedelic treatment with ketamine utilization; and (3) therapist led group discussion of the patients' psychedelic experiences.
		The stages of psychedelic treatment include psychotherapeutic dialogue with the patient within the context of the negative hallucinatory emotional experiences induced pharmacologically by subanasthetic ketamine doses in combination with bemegride and aethimizol.
		Psychedelic therapy for alcoholism seeks to change an individual's attitude towards the use of alcohol but fails to imprint negative associations around the use of alcohol (Smith, 1964; Smith and Seymour, 1983).

	Lycaeum > Leda > The Use of Music in Psychedelic Psychotherapy (using LSD) by Helen L. Bonny & Walter N. Pahnke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		"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.
		Music written specifically for the psychedelic experience by current pop artists appears to be more a reflection of low dosage sessions characterized by stylized adolescent experiences than of the high dosage experiences encountered in psychedelic psychotherapy.
		In instances where the patient has not experienced a psychedelic peak, the re-entry phase is a period of integration and working through of insights gained during the peak hours of the session.

		The analysis is based on interviews with current and former government officials, review of published and unpublished documents, and on-going discussions with all known researchers who have filed applications within the previous fifteen years seeking permission to conduct any human studies with psychedelics, or studies with marijuana in patient populations.
		A two-arm protocol design comparing psychedelic psychotherapy against psychotherapy alone is concluded to be "adequate and well-controlled." Taking into account political considerations, a four-arm study is proposed comparing three groups receiving high, medium or sub-threshold (placebo) doses of psychedelic psychotherapy with an unblinded group receiving the best alternative treatment.
		Part 3 is an exercise in policy design for the regulation of the hypothetical prescription use of psychedelic psychotherapy.
