- Abstract
Psychedelic psychiatry, a field which was previously popular in the 1950's to 1970's, has received renewed interest as an increasing number of recent studies have highlighted the potential role of hallucinogens in treating addictions and various mental illnesses. This paper looks at evidence supporting the use of lysergic diethylamide, ibogaine and ayahuasca in addictions treatment and discusses the barriers that limit further exploration of the therapeutic potential of these and other psychedelic substances.
