“…Different authors from psychology (Oman & Thoresen, 2005;Starbuck, 1911), anthropology (Luhrmann, 2013;Vallverdú, 2010), neuroscience (McNamara, 2009;Newberg & Lee, 2006) and other disciplines, have analyzed how conversion experiences are used in religious setting to cope with different mental problems. For the case of psychedelics, the importance of "peak" and "transcendental" experiences in the treatment of substance use disorder has been identified in both clinical setting (Hoffer & Osmond, 1967;Majic et al, 2015;Richards, 2009), and in different religious/spiritual ritual contexts (Apud, Scuro, Carrera, & Oliveri, 2022;Fábregas et al, 2010;Mercante, 2013;Talin & Sanabria, 2017). Nowadays, mystical experiences during the psychedelic acute effects are considered as a main predictor of a positive psychotherapeutic outcome in the clinical setting of randomized controlled trials (Yaden & Griffiths, 2021).…”
