Psychedelics and Psychoanalysis: Myths & Possibilities
October 19, 2023, 8:00 - 10:00 PM
This is a continuation of NCP's Manifest Mind Series.
** This event will be held in Pacific Time. Registration will close at 4:30 PM on the day of the event. No registrations are possible after this time, no exceptions. ***
As psychedelic medicine moves toward wide clinical implementation, psychoanalysts are establishing a specialized set of roles and methods separate from other psychotherapists. The value of psychedelic medicine in psychodynamic care has been extensively documented in the past decade, corroborating published clinical experience in the earlier LSD era over 60 years ago. This two-hour presentation, a continuance of our presentation on psychedelic medicine in the spring, will be devoted to explorations of the clinical skills in working therapeutically with psychedelic medicine. This session examines three aspects of particular interest to analysts and presents challenges to be met with future psychoanalytic methodologies that extend our penetration into the misty realities ahead.
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this session, participants should be able to:
- Discuss “Spirituality” from a materialist perspective and why such a perspective is important in psychodynamic thinking
- Discuss “Context Modulation” as a physical contributor to metaphysical experiences
- Summarize 3 types of misunderstandings about psychedelic medicine as applied in psychodynamic psychotherapy
