Psychedelic Psychotherapy - R. Coleman

. .

Résumé :
Psychedelic Psychotherapy is a comprehensive, easy-to-read resource for therapists and laypeople who need practical guidelines for psychedelic drug-assisted psychotherapy.

Biographie:
For over thirty years, R. Coleman specialized in facilitating psychedelic drug-assisted psychotherapy sessions in Southern California. He specialized in working with survivors of severe childhood trauma who were resistant to, or disappointed with, mainstream therapy. The foundation of his work was built on twenty years of serious spiritual practice and extensive studies of psychotherapeutic principles. His passion for this cutting-edge modality came from personal experience using the drugs to heal his own extensive childhood wounds. When he began his psychedelic therapy in 1986, information about psychedelic therapy was sparse, and qualified, psychedelically informed therapists were almost impossible to find. Consequently, he spent years discovering what works and what does not?both for himself and for his patients. He wrote this book to share these discoveries.
