Amazing course for someone who's interested in getting into the field.
Good overview, however it is a little too "self important" (the "self being Johns Hopkins the institution, and the constant naming of the speakers' titles (named professorships) while not giving Dr. Griffiths sufficient credit. A mix between marketing and focusing on the research at JHU. I feel that there should have been more on details of historic practices, and discussion of ongoing indigenous practice with ceremony. I would also be interested in a discussion of the different effects of solo therapy (very much the typical therapy mode) Vs group therapy (psychedelic experiences) given that one key role of the experience may be the shared experience by participants when in a safe environment and the authentic sharing of noetic experiences may be reinforcing on the therapeutic effects; community also being especially important in use of psychedelics in treatment addiction (think the community of the AA 12 steps group).
