A three-part series on the past, present and future of psychedelic conversion therapy: its history in psychedelic research, the influencers who pathologize queerness, and what it means to welcome pro-conversion therapy advocates into a movement built around “healing.”
Neşe and Russell review the history and harms of conversion therapy practices in the broader medical landscape, as well as their persistence throughout the history of psychedelic research.
Neşe and Russell examine the rise of modern right-wing influencers who simultaneously advocate for the dismantling of “woke” ideologies, express support for conversion therapy frameworks, and promote the use of psychedelic therapy.
Neşe and Russell speak with Kaleb Graves about his reporting on the growing links between psychedelic therapy and conversion therapy movements.
