031 Magic Mushrooms: Dr. Natalie Dyer Interview
Manage episode 311933318 series 3203066
In this episode I am in conversation with Natalie Dyer about one of her latest studies. Natalie is a friend and an old colleague of mine from when we both did research at the Langer lab at Harvard University. She is one of the names you will often see in seminars/etc. for work related to psychedelics/alternative therapies/reiki, and more. This interview is about her study entitled "A Systematic Review of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy for Mental Health: An Evaluation of the Current Wave of Research and Suggestions for the Future" with Spencer W. Wheeler.
This episode is for you if...
- You would like to know more about why one would use psychedelics in a therapeutic setting
