A psychological model of classic psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy informed by contemporary scientific data is presented in this paper. It is suggested that classic psychedelic-occasioned mystical experience is characterized by profound awe, a discrete emotion experienced in the presence of a vast stimulus requiring accommodation of mental structures. Awe, in turn, promotes the small self, a construct that, in the extreme, is analogous to those of unitive experience and ego dissolution. The small self is conceptualized as key to understanding the downstream effects of mystical experience occasioned in the context of classic psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. With this novel theoretical framework in mind, a number of clinical implications and recommendations are provided so as to advance this incipient field of study.
本文提出了一个基于当代科学数据的经典迷幻辅助心理治疗的心理模型。研究表明，经典迷幻引起的神秘体验的特点是深刻的敬畏，这是一种在面对需要调整心理结构的巨大刺激时所产生的离散情绪。敬畏反过来又促进了小我，这个概念在极端情况下类似于统一体验和自我消解。小我被概念化为理解经典迷幻辅助心理治疗中引起的神秘体验的后续影响的关键。有了这个新的理论框架，本文提供了一些临床意义和建议，以推动这一初步研究领域的发展。
