En esta conferencia presento tres trabajos de investigación sobre el uso de ayahuasca en psicoterapia. El primer trabajo consiste en un estudio cualitativo sobre las experiencias de los participantes a las ceremonias celebradas en Londres por el Santo Daime, grupo religioso sincrético de origen brasileño que usa ayahuasca en sus rituales. En este estudio se analizan los efectos terapéuticos experimentados por los participantes, formulando una hipótesis sobre los procesos que subyacen a los cambios positivos descritos por los sujetos a raíz de su uso ritual de ayahuasca. El segundo trabajo describe mi experiencia en un centro de terapia de toxicomanías en Amazonas, Brasil, donde se usa ayahuasca como herramienta principal en el tratamiento. Presento las distintas modalidades terapéuticas utilizadas en el centro y la integración entre ellas. El tercer trabajo trata sobre las experiencias de participantes españoles en sesiones de ayahuasca con fin psicoterapéutico fuera de un marco religioso o chamánico tradicional.
