20 Frameworks For Psychedelic Integration: Maps of Mind, Therapy, and Meaning

You’ve had the experience. Maybe it was profound, maybe it was terrifying, maybe it was both. You came back changed, or at least convinced that something important happened, and now you’re trying to figure out what to do with it. That’s where most people get stuck. Not in the extraordinary moment, but in the ordinary Tuesday that follows.

The quality of what happens after a session matters as much as the session itself. 20 Frameworks for Psychedelic Integration brings together some of the most important thinkers across psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and contemplative practice whose work speaks directly to this question. Stanislav Grof on the cartography of non-ordinary states. Carl Jung on archetypal imagery and the Shadow. Viktor Frankl on meaning and existential suffering. And others whose frameworks together address the full range of what someone might encounter and how to close the gap between what was glimpsed and how to live now.

Whether your session was mystical or biographical, was expansive or destabilizing, had ego death or encounters with entities, these are some of the most useful maps available for the territory you’re now standing in. This isn’t a book about what psychedelics do; it’s a book about what to do next.
