Psychedelics in the age of reproducibility: Reflections on aura, set and setting and the medicalization of mystical-type experiences
Psychedelics induce transformative experiences leading to lasting changes in attitudes and behaviour, with outcomes depending on both pharmacological factors and the context of the experience ('set and setting'), marking a paradigm shift in mental health treatment.
