"Soul-making" (cf. Jung and Hillman) is the process of integrating spiritual and bodily imagery into an intimated wholeness transcending conscious comprehension. Pierre Janet's case of the psychotic mystic, Madeleine, reveals that the patient had been "making" her own-soul even though his theory had no provision for soul. Janet's soul-stripping theory is contrasted with a soul-making approach,...

Ideal-type shamanism is compared with Franconian folk magic. Franconia, a central province of Germany, experiences the end phase of a tradition of dualistic folk magic, including white and black witchcraft. While there are similarities between shamanism and Franconian magic - good or evil spirits amenable to magical manipulation, psychosomatic effects, "justice magic" -, differences prevail....

Since the turn of the century, mystic researchers have pointed to the similarities between mystics on the one hand, and artists, poets, mathematicians, musicians, in short, all those who are involved in creative activity. One common denominator, using the terminology of the day, is a state of inspiration, a sort of creative ecstasy, an immediate insight of some form. However, the question of...

The concern of this article is to examine the conceptual framework within which drug-induced ecstasy has been compared to and/or used to interpret religious mysticism. No attempt is made to theorize about the “true” nature of either kind of experience; rather the author articulates the underlying assumptions and examines the social setting within which such discussions are carried on. The...

The relationship of the trophotropic and ergotropic systems of autonomic-somatic integration and their relevance to a variety of emotional states and levels of consciousness is reviewed. The importance of proprioceptive afferent feedback to the reticular formation and hypothalamus for the maintenance of ergotropic responsivity is indicated together with the beneficial clinical effects of...

Our usual conception of the shaman is, indeed, that he employs monotonous effects to fall into ecstasy and arrive at the state of trance: he sings and dances alone, or along with others. The auditory stimulations and the motoric movements, in increasing intensity, and the emotional induction from the crowd around him result in his falling into a trance in the end, and the disconnecting of...

S ummary In 45 normal subjects changes in the horizontal eye movements following the administration of psychotropic drugs have been studied. 1. Following the administration of amobarbital (250 mg, i.v.) and chlorpromazine (1.0mg/kg, i.m.), rapid eye movements (R) decreased gradually until they disappeared altogether. 2. LSD 25 (0.5 or 1.0γ/kg, i.m.) produced increase of R in 80% and markedly...

Psychedelic drugs have recently emerged as plausibly effective pharmacological agents for the management of depression, anxiety, and other neuropsychiatric conditions, including those that are treatment-resistent. The latter half of the 20th century marked a revolution in the treatment of mental illnesses, exemplified by the introduction of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other...

Background: The role, necessity, and relevance of psychotherapy within psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) remain contested: some view it principally as safety support, whereas others regard it as essential to safety and efficacy. Patient-centred evidence on how psychotherapy is experienced within real-world PAT is scarce. We examined how patients understood the role of psychotherapy in their...
