Description
After a 25-year moratorium on research into therapeutic uses for psychedelic drugs, the FDA is again approving testing with human subjects, and top researchers in this collection explain why hallucinogens may hold promise to treat physical and mental disorders.

Reviews:
-Psychedelic Medicine: New Evidence for Hallucinogenic Substances as Treatments....in two volumes, brings together much of the contemporary knowledge related to hallucinogens in a way that it will appeal to the scientific community, and will contribute to the increasing interest that is being paid to this group of drugs....These weighty tomes, of well over 750 pages between them are clearly very well presented. The layout is clear, the syntax is formal and accomplished, the chapters are extensively referenced, and the index is detailed. —Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing
-[T]his extensive two-volume tome currently serves as ^Ithe^R authoritative reference text on psychedelic medicines, particularly with regard to the advances made in the last ten years....No corners have been cut with the essays either, each of which have been written specifically for this book and, collectively, they offer a comprehensive range of insights to this anthology. Although almost wholly positive, this treatise on the possible benefits of psychedelic agents in the treatment of psychological disease still offers a reasoned and balanced approach....^IPsychedelic Medicine^R has a great deal of timely information to offer physical and mental health professionals and students, as well as all those working in recreational drug research, policy, treatment and intervention, whether involved with psychedelics or not. —Drugs and Alcoholism Today
