Beginning with his initiation into LSD therapy in the 1960s, the book follows his journey through decades of practice, offering vivid case studies and reflections on the human aspects of healing. Feldmár critiques standardized protocols in psychedelic therapy, emphasizing the necessity of deep engagement between therapist and patient. At a time when psychedelic research is once again gaining momentum, Radical Adventure is both a memoir and a call to action for a new generation of therapists to honour the relational foundation of this profound work. Andrew Feldmár is a renowned Vancouver-based psychologist who has worked as a psychotherapist in private practice for 49 years. He has been trained and supervised in LSD therapy by R. D. Laing in London, England. He studied the anthropology of shamanism with Francis Huxley. He also worked with Stan Grof at the Esalen Institute in California. He teaches, lectures, and leads workshops worldwide. Two organizations, Soteria Foundation and the Feldmar Institute, have been set up in Hungary inspired by Feldmar. He has been featured in such films as Did You Used to Be R. D. Laing?, Neurons to Nirvana, and on the CBC Radio show Ideas. Recently, he has been involved in a research study, sponsored by MAPS, to show the efficacy of MDMA as an adjunct to psychotherapy with severe cases of PTSD.
