by Sean P. Lawlor (Author)

For psychotherapists and inner explorers, an expansive, multidimensional odyssey into the history, practice, and potential of psychedelic healing

Now that the stigmas against psychedelic medicine are finally lifting, there's a lot of curiosity--and confusion--about these powerful compounds.

How can psychedelics be used safely? What are the risks? Can they truly help heal the wide variety of conditions that has garnered such international attention?

In Psychedelic Revival, Sean Lawlor invites you on a deep dive into the science, spirituality, and practice of psychedelic healing--a revival of both the first wave of pre-1960s research and ancient healing traditions with plant medicines.

Join this respected author and researcher to gain a full-spectrum understanding of the possibilities and limits of psychedelics, including:

- The Western history of psychedelic medicine and recreational use
- The millennium-spanning legacy of Indigenous plant medicine traditions
- In-depth chapters on psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, mescaline, ibogaine, peyote, ayahuasca, DMT, and more
- Practical insights, from microdosing to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to transformative mystical experiences
- The shadow dimensions of psychedelics--bad trips, scientific stigmatization, inequality of access, and many other essential topics

Informed by solid research and direct wisdom from perceptive firsthand accounts, Lawlor guides you into the psychedelic landscape, covering treatment methods, realistic benefits, and the legitimate perils psychedelics can induce. Along the way, he shares exclusive interviews with luminaries such as Michael Pollan, Rick Doblin, Camille Barton, Carl Hart, Jim Fadiman, Rick Strassman, Natalie Ginsberg, Sandor Iron Rope, and many more.

Psychedelics have tremendous healing potential, yet all evocative modalities should be handled with care. To make good choices, we need quality information about the prospects and pitfalls of these emerging therapeutic tools. Psychedelic Revival is an invaluable resource for navigating this exciting frontier in Western healing.
