RESENHA CRÍTICA DA OBRA VISÕES MULTIDISCIPLINARES DA AYAHUASCA
REDD – Revista Espaço de Diálogo e Desconexão February 10, 2026 Julia Dias Milani
The book Visões Multidisciplinares da Ayahuasca (2023) provides a comprehensive analysis of ayahuasca use across historical, cultural, therapeutic, legal, and scientific dimensions, situated within the contemporary 'psychedelic renaissance.' Organized into three parts, it covers botanical, ecological, and religious aspects, therapeutic potentials in mental health and problematic drug use, and experimental, preclinical, neuroscientific, and metabolomic studies. The work's main contribution is its interdisciplinary approach, articulating diverse fields to offer a plural overview of ayahuasca. However, the anthropological analysis could have more deeply explored traditional knowledge and Indigenous perspectives amid the drink's global expansion. The book marks an academic milestone while opening space for future intercultural and ethical investigations.
