Kim Kuypers – Ayahuasca And Creative Thinking
Ayahuasca is a South American psychotropic plant tea traditionally used in Amazonian shamanism. Recently it was shown that ayahuasca reduces judgmental processing and inner reactivity, classic goals of mindfulness psychotherapy. Related to this, we investigated the effects of ayahuasca on divergent thinking, since this mode of thinking can enhance and strengthen psychological exibility by generating new emotional and cognitive strategies. Findings showed that ayahuasca enhances creative divergent thinking, suggesting that ayahuasca can increase psychological exibility, which may facilitate psychotherapeutic interventions and support clinical trial initiatives. Next to the acute effects, we are currently investigating whether these positive effects on divergent thinking are longer lasting.
