The Connection Between Jungian Psychology and Psychedelics

Ever since reading Jung, I couldn’t help but draw parallels with the psychedelic experience. In fact, nothing seems more suitable as a framework. But somehow I never seemed to encounter much material about psychedelics and Jung. When I originally saw this book many years ago, it was the only one of its kind. And many years later, it’s still the only one I can find. The beginning of book starts with a brief history of psychedelic research and then lays some foundation of Jung’s concepts and principles. Afterwards, he finally dives into more direct comparisons. I liked how he made use of the psychotomimetic model of psychedelics. This is usually told of how psychedelics were first used but quickly dismissed. The psychedelic experience is most certainly not reduceable to a psychotic episode, but nevertheless, some similarities in phenomenology cannot be dismissed, and the author explores this in-depth in a way that I found enlightening. <a href="https://tiagovf.medium.com/the-connection-between-jungian-psychology-and-psychedelics-93446630cffd">Read More</a>
