  • Exploring the importance of bodyset for the psychedelic experience and beyond

    Open AccessM V Uthaug, Giancarlo Allocca et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychedelic Studies2025

    BackgroundResearch has shown that psychedelics may have therapeutic potential in treating mental disorders like depression and anxiety. However, the mechanisms and actions underlying their effects are still not fully understood. Similarly, while the significance of mindset and setting in shaping psychedelic experiences and therapeutic outcomes is well established, information about the influence of the body is comparatively scarce.AimThis paper i…

  • Epidemiology of classic psychedelic substances

    Open AccessTor-Morten Kvam, M V Uthaug et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    In this cross-sectional sample of Norwegian, self-selecting adults, we shed light on what characterizes the most memorable experience with a classic psychedelic substance, including short- and long-term risks and benefits. For the most part, the psychedelic experience led to improvements in self-perceived symptoms of mental disorders and substance use disorders. However, a small subset experienced persisting adverse reactions

  • Decreases in State and Trait Anxiety Post-psilocybin

    Open AccessMaggie Kiraga, Maggie Kamila Kiraga et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

Evidence-based treatment modalities including pharmacological and cognitive-behavioral therapy result in deficient treatment responses. Historical and recent research suggests psychedelic drugs may be efficacious in alleviating anxiety-related symptoms among healthy and clinical populations.

  • An experience with Holotropic Breathwork is associated with improvement in non-judgement and satisfaction with life while reducing symptoms of stress in a Czech-speaking population

    Open AccessM V Uthaug, Natasha L Mason et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychedelic Studies2022Referencias: 53

    BackgroundHolotropic breathwork (Grof (R) Breathwork), was developed by Stanislav Grof and Christina Grof as a 'non-drug' alternative technique to evoke altered states of consciousness (ASC). Interestingly, although HBW has been anecdotally reported to evoke experiences and mental health effects corresponding to those of psychedelic substances, the scientific literature on the matter is scarce.AimsThe objective of this study was to assess the (su…

  • Sub-acute and long-term effects of ayahuasca on mental health and well-being in healthy ceremony attendants

    Open AccessK I Van Oorsouw, M V Uthaug et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychedelic Studies2021Referencias: 39

    Background and aims There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the psychedelic plant tea, ayahuasca, holds therapeutic potential. Uthaug et al. (2018) demonstrated that a single dose of ayahuasca improved mental health sub-acutely and 4-weeks post-ceremony in healthy participants. The present study aimed to replicate and extend these findings. A first objective was to assess the sub-acute and long-term effects of ayahuasca on mental heal…

  • A comparison of reactivation experiences following vaporization and intramuscular injection (IM) of synthetic 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in a naturalistic setting

    Open AccessM V Uthaug, R Lancelotta et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychedelic Studies2020Referencias: 41

    BackgroundPrevious research suggests a therapeutic potential of5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine(5-MeO-DMT). However, online anecdotal reports have described a phenomenon following cessation of the acute effects of 5-MeO-DMT use which has been termedreactivation(i.e., re-experiencing ["flashback"]). To date, no research has investigated whether different routes of administration may confer different reactivation rates, effects and experiences.Aims…

  • Sub-Acute Effects of Psilocybin on Empathy, Creative Thinking, and Subjective Well-Being

    Open AccessNatasha L Mason, Elisabeth Mischler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2019

    Creative thinking and empathy are crucial for everyday interactions and subjective well-being. This is emphasized by studies showing a reduction in these skills in populations where social interaction and subjective well-being are significantly compromised (e.g., depression). Anecdotal reports and recent studies suggest that a single administration of psilocybin can enhance such processes and could therefore be a potential treatment. However, it …
