Title of the talk: The future of psychedelics, can we influence our identity?

Psychedelic substances are obviously a tool to help us step away from attachments and ego, but is a trip the ideal way to deal with our identity problems and the way we express it, in our personality? Understanding how we develop our primary and maybe substitute identities is an important step towards finding good and effective therapy models and treatment options. In the present wave of psychedelic research, this is missing. Substances like ayahuasca, psilocybin or MDMA are seen as broad solutions for everything, the snake-oil of self-serving research and monetization of what Albert called ‘sacred drugs’. A critical look at individual characteristics and psychic structure, customizing substances, set, setting and integration rather than broad diagnose/treatment protocols is where the future of psychedelics lies.
