Explorações sobre o tema das drogas a partir da psicologia analítica na contemporaneidade
Interação em Psicologia March 17, 2026 Ricardo Nogueira Ribeiro, Walter Melo
Analytical psychology has increasingly engaged with drug-related research, moving beyond a purely negative portrayal. This review updates an earlier integrative review and finds that studies at the intersection of analytical psychology and drug research are no longer scarce. The selected studies fall into two main categories: psychedelics and addictions. The most studied substances are ayahuasca and alcohol. Methodologically, the research is dominated by essays and conceptual studies, hermeneutic and heuristic investigations, case studies or clinical cases, and phenomenological research. The paper considers reciprocal contributions between the two fields and outlines possibilities for future investigations.
