Website abstract bibtex

Accounts of subjective experience in early psychotic reactions from clinical work and the literature were compared to certain natural and drug-induced experiences which have a certain experiential characteristic in common--that of heightened consciousness or awareness. Psychedelic and psychotomimetic phenomena are closely related. The hypothesis is that these states demonstrate to varying degrees the subjective phenomena of intrapsychic alteration, that they are fluid states whose outcome is determined by both intrapsychic and environmental factors. There are clearly quantitative, inter-individual differences in the way such experiences can be tolerated, interpreted, terminated, and assimilated into the ongoing context of experience. To account for such differences in terms of discrete ego liabilities and assets would be to explicate many crucial psychological phenomena, including certain forms of psychosis, therapeutic personality change, and creative insight.
