An analytic treatment of a patient with psychopathic traits offers a rich opportunity to examine the multi-layered interactions among the treatment, a psychedelic mushroom journey and Dr. Burton’s narrative approach to telling the reader about it. In particular, relational elements were prominent as part of the setting in which the treatment, the journey, and the integration occurred. Unconscious aspects of both therapist and analyst emerged in a particularly vivid way as illuminated by the effects of a psychedelic experience on the clinical process
