Consciousness, Psychedelics, & Psychological Flexibility - Dr Steven Hayes & Dr Matthew Johnson
To access our conference library of 200+ fascinating psychology talks and interviews (with certification), please visit: https://twumembers.com
Professor Steven Hayes and Professor Matthew Johnson.
Although they work in widely different fields, with Matt being a leading researcher in psychedelics at John Hopkins, and Steve being the co-developer of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, both have reached similar conclusions about the psychological processes underneath mental health and wellbeing - so I thought it might be interesting to bring them together for this conversation.
You’ll learn:
— How a behaviourist perspective has been advantageous for Matt and Steve in their research
— How and why psychedelics may promote “psychological flexibility”
— Steve and Matt’s thoughts on the origins of spirituality
— Their views on consciousness and the “hard problem”.
And more.

Dr. Matthew W. Johnson, PhD, is a distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.
