Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy in the Time of the Psychedelic Renaissance

This Czech-language publication offers informed readers an introduction to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, an approach that uses an expanded state of consciousness produced by psychedelic substances to enhance the psychotherapeutic process. The growing number of clinical studies with these substances is paving the way for psychedelics to enter medical and psychological practice. Advances in neuroimaging have provided a somewhat clearer picture of how psychedelics act in the human brain, while research into non-pharmacological factors affecting their efficacy helps define and further develop modern psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. The book examines work with psychedelics in the context of clinical studies and contemporary psychotherapy, and includes a range of specific procedures and client case studies. It is intended primarily for clinical professionals and psychotherapists, as well as other readers interested in the subject.
