Metamodernism and Psychedelics: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Abstract

This paper examines how psychedelic therapy reflects metamodern sensibilities – navigating between scepticism, hope, science and subjectivity. Rather than prescribing outcomes, it explores how patients engage psychedelic experiences as meaning-making processes within complex cultural and psychological landscapes, inviting new perspectives on healing, integration and the role of consciousness in existential therapy.
