Do you think I could possible use this path for psychology?
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 18 and bipolar at 31. I spent a few years doing research to create an alternate model of understanding and experimenting on myself have had amazing success without psychiatric medications.
I've also helped other people through sharing my experience and coaching them.
When I shared my story with Rick Doblin from maps.org he said he felt my particular application of using MDMA would spur new lines of research.
- ada1981 9y agoPs, I have a BA in Psychology and an MS in Urban and Regional Planning with a focus on community development.
- sideshowb 9y agoIf you've spoken to Doblin I presume you've read this https://www.maps.org/resources/students/181-so-you-want-to-be-a-psychedelic-researcher https://www.maps.org/resources/students/181-so-you-want-to-b... A PhD by publication still needs a supervisor so I'd suggest contacting all the academics involved in psychedelic research and asking. For obvious reasons there aren't very many of them, so it shouldn't take long! I imagine you'll have to face a bunch of issues with legality and subjectivity that most researchers don't, but they will be the best people to ask.
