Plant Medicines, Healing and Psychedelic Science: Cultural Perspectives. Cham, Switzerland: Springer. 2018.

By Beatriz Caiuby Labate & Clancy Cavnar (eds.)

This is a book about the intersections of three dimensions. The first is the way social scientists and historians treat the history of psychiatry and healing, especially as it intersects with psychedelics. The second encompasses a reflection on the substances themselves and their effects on bodies. The third addresses traditional healing, as it circles back to our understanding of drugs and psychiatry. The chapters explore how these dimensions are distinct, but deeply intertwined, themes that, in turn, offer important insights into contemporary healing practices.
