PLANT MEDICINES HEALING AND PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE...

This is a book about the intersections of three dimensions. The first is the way social
scientists and historians treat the history of psychiatry and healing  especially as it
intersects with psychedelics. The second encompasses a reflection on the substances themselves
and their effects on bodies. The third addresses traditional healing  as it circles back to our
understanding of drugs and psychiatry. The chapters explore how these dimensions are distinct 
but deeply intertwined  themes that offer important insights into contemporary healing
practices.The intended audience of the volume is large and diverse: neuroscientists  biologists
medical doctors  psychiatrists  psychologists  mental health professionals interested in the
therapeutic application of psychedelic substances  or who work with substance abuse  depression
anxiety  and PTSD  patients and practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine 
ethnobotanists and ethnopharmacologists  lawyers  criminologists and other specialists in
international law working on matters related to drug policy and human rights  as well as
scholars of religious studies  anthropologists  sociologists  and historians  social scientists
concerned both with the history of science  medicine  and technology  and concepts of health 
illness  and healing. It has a potentially large international audience  especially considering
the increasing interest in psychedelic science and the growing spread of the use of traditional
psychoactives in the West.
