Beschreibung

This is a fascinating compilation of medical, psychological and
sociological papers on the spread of ayahuasca use … in Brazil and in
several European countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands),
as well as the USA. … Highly recommended for serious students of this
subject.

Ralph Metzner, Ph.D., Psychologist and author of Sacred Vine of
Spirits – Ayahuasca

The Internationalization of Ayahuasca provides reliable
information that has never before appeared in print, ranging from the rain
forests of the Amazon to the churches in Western Europe. … Like it or not,
ayahuasca has left the jungle and is here to stay! Read this book and you
will understand the importance of its arrival on the global scene.

Dr. Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Alan Watts Professor of Psychology,
Saybrook University

The contributors provide a detailed consideration of the legal situation
of ayahuasca … as well as a multidisciplinary assessment of the health
implications of its use. The Internationalization of Ayahuasca is
a must-read for anyone attempting to understand the global implications of
ayahuasca today.
