I encourage you to look into the work of Willoughby Britton. She's reported on many people who have attended Western retreat centers and suffered adverse psychological reactions, and the teachers had no clue how to handle it.
we need not understand psychosis or clinical treatment of it. that's not what the psychedelic experience is, really. it's an awakening. it ought to be treated just the same as awakening from meditation.

All good points. I was actually trying to say that the current psychological understanding of psychosis is flawed, and this leads to viewing psychedelic and contemplative effects as psychosis, as many of the descriptive components can sound a lot like psychotic symptoms.

The more we understand about psychosis - and how to treat it - the better.
