Philosophical Issues in Psychedelic Drug Use Philosophy Special Interest Group Conference 2017
OVERVIEW
Philosophical Issues in Psychedelic Drug Use Philosophy Special Interest Group Conference is organized by Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPSYCH) and would be held during Oct 05 - 06, 2017 at Royal College Of Psychiatrists, London, England, United Kingdom.
The target audience for this medical event for any medical health professional with an interest in philosophy in psychiatry. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 12 Credits.
There is a growing literature on the effects of psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin on the brain. There have been a number of recent high profile publications which have studied the nature of the LSD experience and accompanying changes in the brain revealed by functional neuroimaging.
There have been trials of treatment with these drugs in a range of conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder, depression, addictions and “existential anxiety” in terminally ill patients. It is likely that clinical use of these drugs will grow in the next few years.
A conference which looks at the philosophical and ethical issues arising from use of psychedelics is therefore timely. The impact of these drugs on the brain also brings into focus important issues in the philosophy of mind.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
