The M Series: The Psychoanalytic Laboratory: Mind-Body Explorations at the Interface of Psychiatry, Medicine, and Psychoanalysis
In this course, we will enhance our psychoanalytic understanding of psychedelic therapy by exploring both the historical and contemporary landscape of psychedelic medicine. Through various psychoanalytic lenses, we will examine the effects of psychedelics and their potential therapeutic applications. The course will feature insights from guest speakers and texts representing intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy, interpersonal, ego psychology, and contemporary relational approaches. We will investigate what psychoanalysis can gain from the study of psychedelics and how psychedelic therapy and culture can benefit from psychoanalytic principles.
Learning Objectives
- Describe contemporary and historical perspectives on the mechanisms and effects of psychedelics.
- Discuss the historical, current, and potential applications of psychedelic medicine through various psychoanalytic frameworks.
