If you want to know how some psychotherapists have worked with these things, I think an oldie but a goodie, The Healing Journey by Claudio Naranjo, I think is excellent.
Tim Ferriss · The Tim Ferriss Show · Mar 2023 Listen at 2:55:22 Why people recommend it
The Healing Journey by Claudio Naranjo is an influential psychological text exploring how psychotherapists work with psychedelics and offering insight into what constitutes a skilled guide. The book was recommended by Tim Ferriss across multiple episodes of The Tim Ferriss Show, including conversations with Michael Pollan in March 2019 and Dr. Andrew Huberman in March 2023. Ferriss described the work as an oldie but a goodie, praising it as an excellent resource for anyone seeking to understand the historical application of psychedelics in clinical settings. He specifically pointed listeners toward Naranjo's work—alongside publications from MAPS—as essential reading to comprehend the rigorous standards and qualities needed for a proper therapeutic guide during psychedelic experiences.

“One of the recommendations I've made is read some of the books that that MAPS maps.org publishes like the secret chief about Leo Zeff who is a stellar guide or I think it's healing journey or the healing journey by Claudio Naranjo from Chile so that you understand what a good guide looks like and then you will at least”
