Psychedelic substances, including LSD and psilocybin, can induce profound altered states of consciousness and are increasingly being used for therapeutic purposes.
However, next to a wave of enthusiasm about their therapeutic potential, in our society we also witness increased concerns about their safety and efficacy. In this talk I will first look back and provide re-evaluation of the early controlled trials on psychedelic therapy from the 1960s and 70s and discuss the lessons learned.
Next I will take stock of current psychedelic science and reflect on the current state-of-the-art regarding efficacy, mechanisms of action and how to address common methodological problems.
I will conclude by discussing the prospects for psychedelic therapy, with a call for combining idealism with pragmatism in rethinking psychedelic science.
