Consciencia, enteógenos y psicología

Abstract

The research aims to relate theoretically the concepts of consciousness, entheogens and nonordinary states of consciousness, from a descriptive qualitative psychological approach, through a content analysis of documentary review and autobiographical reports, considering the physicochemical, subjective, experiential dimensions, uses and applications of entheogens in psychology and non-ordinary states of consciousness produced by substances of natural origin such as psilocybin and dimethyltryptamine. The analysis allows to understand that the use of entheogens within a suitable shamanic or therapeutic context can expand the knowledge for the treatment of different mental disorders, and to generate positive impacts to the well-being of human beings
