Edited by researchers and authors Alexander B. Belser, PhD, Clancy Cavnar, PsyD, and, Beatriz C. Labate, PhD, \u003ci\u003eQueering Psychedelics\u003c\/i\u003e features a broad range of perspectives from queer academic researchers, LGBTQIA+ clinicians, and indigenous and transgender advocates.Each of the 38 essays - from some of the contemporary movement's most influential leaders including Terrence Ching, PhD, Kile Ortigo, PhD, and Diana Quinn, ND -- presents insights into cultural heritages and historical contexts, implications for research and clinical work, and discussions of the healing potential of psychedelic medicine.Covering topics of consent, privilege, intersectionality and identity, \u003ci\u003eQueering Psychedelics\u003c\/i\u003e grapples with how modern psychedelic research might address the unique needs and traumas of sexual and gender minorities--populations that can suffer from challenging mental health conditions brought on by social exclusion, pathologization, criminalization, and stigmatization. This book delves into the dark history of psychedelic conversion therapy while illuminating promising research showing substances including MDMA and psilocybin can offer life-changing experiences for marginalized communities.\u003ci\u003eQueering Psychedelics\u003c\/i\u003e integrates indigenous outlooks on psychedelics, gender roles, and identity while aligning them with those of other marginalized groups: women, people of color, the disabled, the impoverished. This book interrogates the continuing radical potential of queer psychedelia in today's era of assimilation, paving the way for an inclusive and intersectional world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Belser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957869038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957869032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Synergetic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Alex Belser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077065634047,"sku":"9781957869032","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb3cfac2-be12-45a9-8a82-4d7439cb0672.jpg?v=1685468128","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queering-psychedelics-alexander-b-belser-9781957869032","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
