Abstract
Despite considerable optimism regarding the mind-transforming potential of psychedelic substances, recently challengs have been raised regarding the validity of core findings in the field. In this talk I will provide a critical perspective on psychedelic science, questioning the efficacy and safety of psychedelic therapy and its presumed underlying mechanisms. I will argue that these problems are not new and that important lessons can be learned from history. I will conclude by highlighting examples and suggestions for the improvement of the quality of the science in this field.
