explain the most recent developments in using psychedelic
substances to treat psychological, physiological, and social

ban on all testing of psychedelic substances. Winkelman and Sessa
now provide updated scientific research and applications of these
substances, now moving into approved categories of medicine. The

field of psychedelic medicine, covering the use of LSD, psilocybin,
MDMA, ayahuasca, and other substances to augment psychotherapies

concerns, clinical efficacy and safety, ethical considerations, and
neuroscience findings regarding the psychedelic compounds. Topics
covered include an overview of psychiatric applications of
psychedelics; treatments for addictions and depressive disorders;

evidence for clinical applications of DMT, ayahuasca, and
cannabidiol; psychedelic treatment of sociopathic disorders;
microdosing psychedelics; training psychedelic therapists; and

crises. Describes the history of psychedelics as therapeutic
treatments and the current renaissance of interest in them Details
