Praise for Second Edition of The Psychedelic Renaissance:



'Onward, intrepid explorer, keep your wits, while allowing them to be tickled, as Dr Sessa leads you into a world of remarkable wonders! You are in for a real treat!' Robin Carhart-Harris



'This new book is a succinct, entertaining overview of the emerging "Psychedelic Renaissance" written by an insider, and one of the brightest young architects of this new emerging paradigm.' Dr Dennis J. McKenna



'With intelligence, fact-based optimism and compassion Sessa throws open the doors of perception and guides the reader through the complexities of the history, pharmacology, legality and potential of these miraculous molecules.' Andy Roberts



'This new edition of Sessa's, The Psychedelic Renaissance, will encourage researchers to work in this field, to the benefit of our understanding of how the brain works and to develop new approaches to psychiatric disorders.' David Nutt



'Dr. Ben Sessa prescribes a way forward; mainstreaming psychedelics for a world in deep need of spirituality and inspiration. The Psychedelic Renaissance is a book that deserves to be widely read.' Rick Doblin



'Ben Sessa's energetic review of the research and cultural use of psychedelics provides a unique perspective. The way forward is clear: we urgently need more scientific research, and a rational reform of drug policies.' Amanda Feilding



'The Psychedelic Renaissance will inevitably and rightly be seen as an important marker of their assimilation into the cultural mainstream. I highly recommend it.' Ralph Metzner



'Dr. Sessa skilfully chronicles important developments, perhaps a turning point, in psychiatry and in the understanding of psychedelics in the wider culture. This new updated edition of The Psychedelic Renaissance is informative, entertaining and timely.' Michael Mithoefer

Dr Ben Sessa has worked for twenty years as a consultant psychiatrist specialising in childhood trauma and adult addictions and is one of the leading international experts on psychedelic therapies for treating mental disorders. He qualified from UCL medical school in 1997 and has since trained as an MDMA, psilocybin and ketamine therapist, as well as writing dozens of academic papers and textbooks on psychedelics. Dr Sessa is a former faculty member at Imperial College London, a former co-founder of the UK’s first psychedelic medical clinic, Awakn Life Sciences, former co-founder of Breaking Convention, Europe’s largest multidisciplinary psychedelic research conference, and one of the first psychiatrists to prescribe medical cannabis in the UK. He currently runs Consultancy Agency for Psychedelic Services (CAPS).
