Abstract: Fordham, and Betty Eisner, Jungians who used psychedelics in a therapeutic context between the 1950s and 1970s.Disagreeing with Jung's negative opinion of this model of psychotherapy, these Jungian pioneers found therapeutic use for psychedelics, emphasizing the work of integrating the unconscious materials accessed.Although Jung was against the clinical use of psychedelics, his theory and psychological concepts proved to be easily applicable in understanding the psychedelic experience, contributing to a broadening of the debates within the Psychedelic Renaissance.The text aims to be a theoretical and bibliographical reference to stimulate further clinical and theoretical work on the use of psychedelics based on Jungian psychology.
