Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy preparing your target using psychohistoriography: a Jamaican perspective
Frontiers in Psychiatry June 29, 2023 Winston De La Haye, Geoffrey Walcott, Jordan Eaton et al. 6 citations
Psilocybin and other psychedelics have shown efficacy in treating several mental illnesses, including treatment-resistant cases, through clinical trials. In psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, these substances enhance psychotherapeutic processes. Psychohistoriographic Brief Therapy, developed in Jamaica, has successfully treated personality disorders by documenting life experiences in a psychohistoriogram. The De La Haye psilocybin Treatment Protocol combines micro-doses of psilocybin mushrooms over eight weeks with this documentation, followed by a supervised larger dose in the ninth week. Given Jamaica's legal status for psilocybin, a regulated industry could support rigorous clinical research and benefit clients in this new psychiatric frontier.
