Abstract
This literature review (Chapter 1) is presented as a conceptual introduction, providing an extensive review of the literature pertaining to psychedelic research and, specifically, the constructs investigated in Chapter 2 of the thesis. The conceptual introduction aims to paint a picture of the ‘extra-pharmacological model’ of psychedelic use. It will begin with an introduction to classic psychedelics and their studied therapeutic effect. What follows is a discussion on the acute experiences associated with psychedelic consumption and their vital role in mediating changes to wellbeing. The review then explores the set and setting variables that may impact these experiences and their critical role in the therapeutic model of psychedelics. Regarding group psychedelic use, the impact of the constructs ‘surrender’, ‘communitas’ and ‘extroversion’ are highlighted, and the association with ‘mystical experiences’ and changes to wellbeing is made. The review concludes by outlining the direction and aim of the empirical work discussed in Chapter 2 of the thesis.
