This is a pioneering cognitive psychological study of Ayahuasca, a plant-based Amazonian psychotropic brew. Benny Shanon presents a comprehensive charting of the various facets of the special state of mind induced by Ayahuasca, and analyzes them from a cognitive psychological perspective. He also presents some philosophical reflections. Empirically, the research presented in this book is based on the systematic recording of the author's extensive experiences with the brew and on the interviewing of a large number of informants: indigenous people, shamans, members of different religious sects using Ayahuasca, and travellers. In addition to its being the most thorough study of the Ayahuasca experience to date, the book lays the theoretical foundations for the psychological study of non-ordinary states of consciousness in general.

Esta obra apresenta uma pesquisa qualitativa em fontes bibliográficas e fílmica para traçar as singularidades políticas e subjetivas dos psicofármacos. O autor apresenta um jogo de contrastes, uma comparação entre as relações de poder-saber-sujeição que atravessam a psiquiatria em dois intervalos históricos distintos: a constituição e a consolidação da psiquiatria na França do século XIX e a medicalização das práticas e saberes psiquiátricos e, em especial, o uso asilar de substâncias químicas com algum efeito psicoativo (denominadas de de "protopsicofármacos") atualidade, sobretudo o Prozac, o antidepressivo mais receitado no planeta.
