Research since the 1950s has shown that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has had significant positive effects in reductions of specific clinical symptoms and increases in quality of life as measured on a variety of indices. The intensity of focus on evidence-based outcomes, however, has resulted in a paucity of active discussions and research on the core competencies of the therapists themselves. The context of the history of psychedelic research reveals how this neglect of therapist variables occurred. With current discussions of Phase 3 and expanded access research programs for psilocybin-assisted and MDMA-assisted psychotherapies, there will be a great need for competent therapists trained in this clinical specialty. This is particularly the case if less restricted, legal medical use is approved within the next 6 to 10 years. This article is the first review and compilation of psychedelic therapist competencies derived from the psychedelic literature. These six therapist competencies are empathetic a...

Ecological thinking, material spirituality, and the poetics of infrastructure

This Masters project consists of two elements: 1) an integrated after-school program to improve student English language reading and academic outcomes for third graders' vocabulary development by incorporating music, artistic creativity and linguistics; 2) a pilot sample curriculum that demonstrates the approach for building student comprehension through musical theater and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) content experiences. Called "Water Buddy", this is an after-school program uses singing, dancing, writing, and play to build reading and vocabulary skills. The goal is to improve learner academic outcomes by mastering the elemental building blocks of words, letters, symbols by making memorable the sound units, idioms, print conventions, and concepts that they were previously lacking.

Musical linguistics: How music and artistic creativity when delivered as a linguistic practice, help students master academic skills in English language arts

This essay explores the possibility of thinking of some texts as creaturely, basing itself on Anat Pick’s definition of the creaturely as the condition of embodiment and finitude which we share with all living beings. Some texts, especially poetic texts on creatures, can be said to be embodied because they are both fully and openly textual and yet striving to render a sense of their object’s presence in the world. This version of textual embodiment inevitably conveys a sense of finitude through the texts’ acknowledgement that they can never be anything else than texts. Both embodied and finite, these texts appear creaturely themselves. The author discusses poems by Gary Snyder, Les Murray and Wallace Stevens.

Creaturely Texts, Texts On Creatures

"Why do the nations so furiously rage together?" ask the voices of the choir in Georg Friedrich Handel's The Messiah (1742). And so ask two excellent recent books by senior German international relations scholars: Dieter Senghaas' 'Klange des Friedens: Ein Horbericht' (Sounds of Peace: A Listener's Report) and Ekkehart Krippendorff's 'Die Kunst, nicht regiert zu werden: Ethische Politik von Sokrates bis Mozart' (The Art of Not Being Governed: Ethical Politics from Socrates to Mozart). These books deserve sustained engagement, and attention among Anglo-Saxon readers, not only because they employ unusual aesthetic sources to investigate the political (from music to painting, poetry and theatre), but also because the ensuing ruminations offer a formidable challenge to prevailing practices and conceptualisations of international relations. Although suffused with a strong pacifist spirit, both volumes advance more than mere programmatic oppositions to war. They offer inquiries into the dialectic of violence that can make war appear inevitable or legitimate, even when it is only a straightforward struggle for power and superiority. Such problematisations are particularly needed today, at a time when the promotion of global peace and justice is becoming increasingly couched in terms of a violent suppression of forces that threaten the existing order. To challenge this automatic resort to militaristic means as the only way of maintaining security is not to question the need for order or to forego the use of force to defend humanitarian causes. Rather, the key is to oppose a narrowing down of political debates in a challenging time, for precisely at such moments do we need as many insights as possible into the problem of war and peace.
