| - | '''Psychedelic therapy''' refers to [[therapy|therapeutic]] practices involving the use of [[psychedelic drug]]s, particularly serotonergic psychedelics such as [[Lysergic acid diethylamide|LSD]], [[psilocin]] and [[Dimethyltryptamine|DMT]]. As an alternative to synonyms such as "[[Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants|hallucinogen]]", "[[entheogen]]", "psychotomimetic" and other functionally constructed names, the use of the term ''psychedelic'' ("mind-manifesting") emphasizes that those who use these drugs as part of a therapeutic practice believe these drugs can facilitate beneficial exploration of the psyche. Proponents of psychedelic therapy also believe psychedelics enhance or unlock key [[psychoanalytic]] abilities, and so make it easier for conventional psychotherapy to take place. | + | |
