Reviews" Psychedelic Psychotherapy is the book I wanted to write and would have been proud to have written. It must be on the bookshelf of every therapist who presently does this work, or hopes to do it in the future." -Ann Shulgin, coauthor of PIHKAL: A Chemical Love Story and TIHKAL: The Continuation "R. Coleman probably knows more than anyone else I know about the issues and methods for guiding." -James Fadiman, PhD, author of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide "A very good handbook, guidebook, sourcebook, and grounded outline for explorers and sitters alike. It's user friendly, accessible, and covers all the bases well." -Harvey L. Schwartz, author of Dialogues with Forgotten Voices
