Molecules, Mindstates & Mystical Experiences:Psychotechnologies- Thomas B. Roberts, Ph.D.

"Molecules, Mind States and Mystical Experiences - Insights from the Study of Psychedelics" College of DuPage hosted the third in a series of free informational lectures on psychedelics. This one titled, "Molecules, Mind States and Mystical Experiences - Insights from the Study of Psychedelics," was on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Mock Courtroom of the Homeland Security Education Center, HEC 1022, at the College's main campus in Glen Ellyn. This free event featured top minds in the burgeoning field of psychedelics and covered the pharmacology of psychedelics, including their value as an enhanced mind body state and chemically induced mystical state. Recent clinical research on these substances show promise as therapeutic adjuncts to psychotherapy for the treatment of addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, cluster headaches and existential distress at the end of life. "The purpose of this conference is to provide accurate information about psychedelics and how society can benefit from the current resurgence of psychedelic research." Bruce Sewick, MA, LCPC, CADC, said. "A lot of the early research on the medicinal use of psychedelics was good, but this research was cut short due to fears it would encourage recreational use." Some drugs such as MDMA have been studied to treat PTSD. Psilocybin and LSD have also been researched to treat end-of-life anxiety and may show promise for treating alcoholism. Psychotechnologies Tom Roberts, Ph.D., is professor emeritus at Northern Illinois University, where he has taught the world's first course on psychedelics, "Foundations of Psychedelic Studies," since 1981.
