Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy preparing your target using psychohistoriography: a Jamaican perspective.

The efficacy of psilocybin and other psychedelics as modes of treatment have been demonstrated through clinical trials and other studies in the management of a number of mental illnesses, including some treatment resistant cases. In Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP), psychedelics catalyze or enhance the experience fostered by psychotherapeutic methods. Psychohistoriographic Brief Psychotherapy, conceptualized by the late Professor Frederick Hickling in the 1970's in Kingston, Jamaica, offers a pathway for exploration in the Jamaican context.
