From Oppression to Liberation in Psychedelic Medicine
“Intersectional, Radical, and Undeniably Queer—a must-read for anyone interested in finding liberation through psychedelics and beyond.”
As psychedelic-assisted therapy gains traction in popular culture and through policy reforms, Queering Psychedelics aims to foster accessibility and diversity in psychedelic science, practice, and discourse by addressing and dismantling sexist, heteronormative, transphobic, and homophobic forms of oppression in the psychedelic community.
This collected volume spans a broad range of perspectives from queer academic researchers, LGBTQIA+ clinicians, Indigenous two-spirit activists, transgender autodidacts, and queer neo-shamans. Covering topics of consent, privilege, intersectionality, and identity, this anthology grapples with how modern psychedelic research might address the unique needs and traumas of sexual and gender minorities—populations that can suffer from chal- lenging mental health conditions brought on by social exclusion, pathologization, criminalization, and stigmatization.
This book examines the continuing radical potential of queer psychedelia in today’s era of assimilation, paving the way for an inclusive and intersectional world.
