近年来，随着科学家和治疗师再次探索迷幻科学治疗一系列精神疾病的潜力，迷幻科学的研究重新浮出水面，如抑郁症、创伤后应激障碍和成瘾。这场运动的科学进步和临床前景在很大程度上要归功于土著治疗实践的历史；然而，土著人民、少数民族和种族少数、妇女和其他被剥夺公民权的群体的工作在迷幻医学的主流叙事中往往得不到支持或强调。本审查直接涉及这一问题：第一，强调迷幻植物的传统作用，并简要总结迷幻药物的历史；第二，探讨造成研究参与和治疗不平等的历史和社会文化因素，从而限制应当承认其贡献的少数群体的机会。最后，这篇综述提出了扩大西方医疗康复框架的建议，以纳入文化焦点，并为未来研究的治疗发展和传播提供更多的考虑因素。
In recent years, the study of psychedelic science has resurfaced as scientists and therapists are again exploring its potential to treat an array of psychiatric conditions, such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction. The scientific progress and clinical promise of this movement owes much of its success to the history of indigenous healing practices; yet the work of indigenous people, ethnic and racial minorities, women, and other disenfranchised groups is often not supported or highlighted in the mainstream narrative of psychedelic medicine. This review addresses this issue directly: first, by highlighting the traditional role of psychedelic plants and briefly summarizing the history of psychedelic medicine; second, through exploring the historical and sociocultural factors that have contributed to unequal research participation and treatment, thereby limiting the opportunities for minorities who ought to be acknowledged for their contributions. Finally, this review provides recommendations for broadening the Western medical framework of healing to include a cultural focus and additional considerations for an inclusive approach to treatment development and dissemination for future studies.
