Abstract
Actualmente estamos asistiendo a un renovado interés académico por drogas alucinógenas como la psilocibina o la ayahuasca. El uso clínico de alucinógenos se ha acompañado pormodelos psicoterapéuticos con los cuales se direccionan sus efectos subjetivos. El enfoqueclínico desarrollado en Brasil es especialmente interesante, ya que no cuenta con orientacionespsicoterapéuticas o técnicas de direccionalidad de la experiencia subjetiva. En este texto se discute la compleja encrucijada que cristaliza en Brasil y que se produce entre el uso de ayahuasca en entornos clínicos, su uso por parte de comunidades Indígenas y religiosas, lasrelaciones entre estas comunidades y la población general brasileña, y los modelos terapéuticos hegemónicos construidos alrededor de los alucinógenos.
