Abstract

ABSTRACT Ayahuasca has a variety of traditional uses, yet there is a growing global interest in its potential therapeutic benefits for mental health conditions. Novel approaches to psychotherapy are emerging to address the needs of ayahuasca users to prepare as well as to guide them in ‘integrating’ their powerful psychedelic experiences, yet there is little discussion on the ethical frameworks that may structure these therapeutic processes or the social and cultural assumptions that influence the assignment of ayahuasca as a medicine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in San Martín and Loreto, Peru, I examine the varied social meanings and uses of ayahuasca in the Peruvian vegetalista tradition and the potential ethical tensions among curanderos, mental health practitioners, and ayahuasca retreat centres. Practitioners and ayahuasca centres are left with navigating globalized concepts of mental health and ethics while attempting to remain authentic to local ontologies of healing, care, and safety.

每个人都在一路创造":全球化的死藤水萨满教和整合治疗实践之间的伦理紧张关系
ABSTRACT 死藤水有多种传统用途,但全球对其治疗精神疾病的潜在疗效的兴趣却与日俱增。新的心理治疗方法不断涌现,以满足死藤水使用者的需求,帮助他们做好心理准备,并指导他们 "整合 "其强大的迷幻体验,然而,关于构建这些治疗过程的伦理框架或影响将死藤水作为药物的社会和文化假设的讨论却少之又少。基于在秘鲁圣马丁和洛雷托进行的人种学实地调查,我研究了死藤水在秘鲁植物疗法传统中的不同社会意义和用途,以及巫师、心理健康从业者和死藤水疗养中心之间潜在的伦理紧张关系。从业者和死藤水中心既要驾驭全球化的心理健康和伦理概念,又要努力保持当地治疗、护理和安全本体论的真实性。
