Podcast appearances and mentions of Neal M Goldsmith

If you 'd like to get a copy of the Powerpoint presentation, please email Neal at goldsmith.neal@gmail.com The much-heralded "Psychedelic Renaissance" is really "just" a renaissance in psychedelic research. The real societal psychedelic renaissance begins in just five years or so when these extraordinary substances will be rescheduled and become more widely available. In this talk, I'll review the current state of the research on the clinical use of psychedelics, and describe psychedelic integration, the popular new practice of "microdosing," and the concept of "ego-death." I'll highlight the relationship between the stages of developmental psychology and tribal rites of passage - both of which are facilitated by the loosening action of visionary substances and both of which represent mini- "deaths and rebirths" - and show how societal development mirrors personal development. We'll conclude with a discussion of the future of psychedelics policy and the big-picture implications of a re-introduction of psychedelics into Western civilization. Neal M. Goldsmith, Ph.D. is a social psychologist, expert in psychedelic research and therapy, and a licensed psychotherapist with a psychospiritual development orientation. Author of dozens of popular and scholarly articles, he is a frequent speaker on psychotherapy and change, adult developmental psychology, psychedelics research and policy, and the integral future of society. He also curates and hosts innovative workshops, salons, and conferences, including the annual Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics and the MAPS Psychedelic Science conferences. Dr. Goldsmith’s book, Psychedelic Healing: The Promise of Entheogens for Psychotherapy and Spiritual Development, describes the influence of psychedelics on the development of his world view, personality theory and clinical practice. Trained in humanistic, transpersonal, and Eastern traditions, Dr. Goldsmith maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Dr. Neal Goldsmith beams into the kitchen table via the wonders of cyberspace to discuss his exhaustively evolved perspective on the psychedelic experience. Neal's background as a psychotherapist provides a unique perspective into the individuals relationship with the psychedelic journey and how it can alter your life in a constructive and healthy way. Our conversation surfed the many angles of his thinking in particular a breakdown of "psychospiritual development and resistance to change." For me, the juxtaposition of mysticism, psychology and spirituality into a uniformed discussion is one that few people can speak eloquently on - Neal is at the top of this list. Enjoy the podcast! Intro Rant - The Importance of Hugh Hefner Neal M. Goldsmith, Ph.D. is a psychotherapist specializing in psychospiritual development and resistance to change.  Seeing “neurosis” as the natural unfolding of human maturation, he views psychology as the science of personal emergence and spiritual maturity.  With the exception of biologically-based diseases, such as schizophrenia, psychology is not about “mental illness” and so Dr. Goldsmith treats “neurosis” as spiritual immaturity, not pathology.  In fact, he believes the “sick” label itself tightens and distorts, actually slowing healthy realignment. Neal is also the founder of the Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics conference in NYC which is coming up on Oct 6-8. Click here to buy tickets
