Psycholytic & Psychedelic Therapy

^adapted ^from ^Psychedelic ^Medicine, ^Vol. ^1, ^based ^on ^Passie, ^'97

The two main approaches to psychotherapeutic use of hallucinogens:

	Psycholytic (low dose)	Psychedelic (high dose)
Dose	LSD: 30-200µg	LSD: 400-1500µg
	Psilocybin: 3-15mg
	^CZ ⁷⁴ ^{(psilo derivative}^): ^5-20mg
	^MDMA: ^100-150mg
Sessions	5-30 sessions	1-3 overwhelming experiences
Experience	symbolic dream images, regressions, transference	cosmic-mystic experiences. Oneness and ecstatic joy are attained
Interpretation	analytic discussion of experienced material	not very detailed discussion of the experience
	focus on ego psychology, transference phenomena, defense mechanisms	very suggestive of quasi-religious preparation, specific surroundings and music. modern transpersonal approaches used explain structure and effects of experience
Integration	reality comparison, adapt to everyday life	adaptation in reality not the main focus, rather, aim to enhance the meaning of the psychedelic experience
Goal	cure through restructure of personality in the sense of a maturing process and loosening of infantile parental bonds (over months)	symptomatic cure in a change of behavior not exactly defined (varies)
Treatment	neuroses, psychosomatic cases, psychopaths, sexual neuroses, borderline cases. not for alcoholism nor psychoses	alcoholism, neuroses (?) and terminal cancer patients
