The Psychedelic Reawakening

“A well-researched, up-to-date summary of what’s on the cutting edge of the psychedelic renaissance, covering the latest neuroscience, clinical trials, and therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicines. The Psychedelic Reawakening is a crash course in psychoactive drugs, a wonderful overview of some of the most promising and powerful tools for treating mental health, and a valuable guide to learning harm reduction strategies. After so many years of psychedelics being criminalized, demonized, ridiculed, or ignored, Anton Gomez-Escolar’s The Psychedelic Reawakening is a breath of fresh air!” * David Jay Brown, author of The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities and The New Science of Psyche *“Gomez-Escolar expands our view of the vast potential of psychedelics for therapeutic use. He emphasizes that the use of such substances requires purposeful intention through set and setting to maximize benefits and promote safe use. The Psychedelic Reawakening is an excellent resource for therapists and other health professionals and their clients, policy makers, recreational users, psychonauts, and the general public.” * Wade Richardson, author of The Psychedelic Mindmeld *“The Psychedelic Reawakening is relevant and necessary at a time when psychedelic drugs are already available for use in psychiatry, as is the case with ketamine, and as the available arsenal will grow over time: psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, and more. This book fills a necessary gap in this new medical and social panorama. In addition, Anton Gomez-Escolar is one of the best specialists in this field in Spain. The Psychedelic Reawakening will also serve to provide the media with objective and accessible information on a subject that, although still unknown, will be the future of mental health treatment, at a time when it is more necessary than ever.” * José Carlos Bouso, Ph.D., scientific director of the International Center for Ethnobotanical Ed *“The Psychedelic Reawakening explores the resurgence of psychedelics and their potential in therapeutic settings. Written for both lay readers and mental health professionals, the book covers key psychedelics and provides an in-depth look at how these substances can address issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases. Gomez-Escolar also offers insights into the history of psychedelics’ criminalization and recent steps toward legalization. In addition, the book includes practical advice on harm reduction, safety, and microdosing, making it a comprehensive guide for those interested in the modern psychedelic renaissance and its impact on mental health and well-being.” * Dr. Richard Louis Miller, M.A., Ph.D., author of Psychedelic Medicine at the End of Life *
