Amazonian Shamanism and Drug Addiction: Initiation and Counterinitiation.


Pages: 139 - 145

Abstract

During a voluntary detention of at least 6 months, the patient is invited to follow the "Shaman Way", without excluding conventional medical checks, in order to restore consistency to his unconscious and chaotic internal research. The ancestral know-how (depurative and psychotropic plants, fasting, isolation in forests, baths, massages, etc.) are added to the techniques of contemporary psychotherapy (music therapy, meditation, personal interviews, group dynamics, dream interpretation, ergotherapy, etc.).
