Psychedelics: Hype or Truly Transformative? - Logan Neitzke-Spruill

In the fifth episode of Season 5 on the Neuroethics of Psychedelics, we speak with Dr. Logan Neitzke-Spruill about psychedelic transformative experiences. Dr. Neitzke-Spruill is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine, in the United States. His research specifically addresses topics including the construction of scientific and medical knowledge about drugs, bioethical issues associated with drugs, how social-psychological and cultural phenomena shape drug, as well as how the study of drugs can advance a more holistic understanding of the relationship between culture, cognition, and the brain. In this episode, Dr. Neitzke-Spruill discusses the ethical considerations of psychedelic-associated transformative experiences. Drawing on his recent work questioning whether psychedelic experiences are considered transformative experiences, he shares findings from his research with participants of psychedelic retreats.
