This book presents a series of perspectives on the therapeutic
potential of the ritual and clinical use of the Amazonian
hallucinogenic brew ayahuasca in the treatment and management of
various diseases and ailments, especially its role in psychological
well-being and substance dependence. Biomedical and anthropological
data on the use of ayahuasca for treating depression, PTSD, and
substance dependence in different settings, such as indigenous
contexts, neo-shamanic rituals, contemporary therapeutic circles,
and in ayahuasca religions, in both South and North America, are
presented and critiqued. Though multiple anecdotal reports on the
therapeutic use of ayahuasca exist, there has been no systematic
and dense reflection on the topic thus far. The book brings the
therapeutic use of ayahuasca to a new level of public examination
and academic debate. The texts in this volume stimulate discussion
on methodological, ethical, and political aspects of research and
will enhance the development of this emergent field of studies.
