Mystical-type experiences predicting improvements in well-being or mental health after psychedelic use - A comprehensive review of the evidence
Abstract
This is a comprehensive review, based on a systematic search, of the published evidence on acute mystical-type experiences under the influence of psychedelics predicting improvements in well-being or mental health after psychedelic use. The review includes all studies on humans ingesting classic serotonergic psychedelics that report findings on a) a measure of acute mystical-type, transcendent, dissolutive, boundless, unitive, or spiritual experience, b) a measure of positive changes in wellbeing or mental health, and c) an analysis of the association between the two. Open-label and controlled trials with both patients and healthy volunteers are included, as are observational, naturalistic, and survey studies.
