Looking for links/books on information about the use Psychedelics in psychology

Any legitimate, scientific papers or articles pertaining to the subject of psychedelics in psychology would be greatly welcomed. Have a 10 page paper to write on how they pertain to neuroscience, social psychology, physiological psychology, and intelligence. Thanks

Tsk Tsk because they're not doing your homework for you?
Don't get me wrong, it's pretty important. Aside from a few individual studies, I don't know of any collective source with good information about the history. Strassman spends a chapter going on about how much the rave it was even in mainstream psychology in the 50s and 60s (in DMT Spirit Molecule).
I believe there was an institution that once required it's psychologists to experience LSD, to see what schizophrenia feels like before dealing with it. Simillarly to being put on an anesthetic before cutting into someone on one, or being subjected to pepper spray before being allowed to use it. Not sure how many police forces do that, but some do.

Search pubmed. Make sure to check the "reviews" box as original research will be of little use to you.
I would suggest the Nichols review. He's at Purdue.

Nichols' review is: Nichols, D. E., Hallucinogens, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2 131, (2004) .
There are hundreds or thousands of specific studies out there. As for books, try Stanislav Grof's LSD Psychotherapy.

Anything by Grof would perhaps be your best source, he has an incredible amount of experience. There's also Christina Grof, Ann Shulgin, and many others, check out the Erowid Library.
