ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Stanley Krippner, PhD, is a Fellow in five APA divisions and past president of two divisions (30 and 32). Formerly, he was director of the Maimonides Medical Center Dream Research Laboratory in Brooklyn, NY. He is the coauthor of Dream Telepathy, Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them, The Mythic Path, and Haunted by Combat: Understanding PTSD in War Veterans, and coeditor of Debating Psychic Experience: Human Potential or Human Illusion, Healing Tales, Healing Stories, Varieties of Anomalous Experience: Examining the Scientific Evidence, Psychokinesis (Advances in Parapsychological Research,1) and many other books. He is a Fellow of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, and has published cross-cultural studies on spiritual content in dreams.
In this interview, rebooted from 2016, he describes his encounters, during the early days of the psychedelic movement, with such notable figures as Alan Watts, Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, Richard Alpert, Salvador Roquet, Maria Sabina, Jean Houston, Robert Masters, and the Grateful Dead. He maintains that psychedelic experiences have been uniformly positive for him – and that he always approaches them in terms of what can be learned. He suggests that marijuana, a mild psychedelic, has potential as a tool in psychotherapy. He favors decriminalization. However, more research is needed.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
