Suggested Reading and Viewing

This is a really exciting topic!! Can I suggest you read a book by Michael Pollan called "How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics" ( I have a copy that you can have a lend of, my details can be found on my user page). Also too, have a listen to ABC All in the Mind: Psychedelics, Addiction and Mental Health (aired 24 Feb 2019). Good luck with this topic, I think you'll find it very interesting! --NUMBLA0371 (discuss • contribs) 00:09, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

If you need to conciser some of the negative effects of psychedelics this study found "reductions in reported levels of depression and stress; lower levels of distractibility; increased absorption; and increased neuroticism"

Hey there, what an interesting topic, I cant wait to read more about your research. I believe it may be of intret for you that I am currently writing my book chapter on Ayahuasca and Emotion and its emerging therapeutic use (including on addiction). As oour topics have quite a lot of cross over, you may want to include my page in the "see more" section of your page. Good luck and look forward to seeing your page develop!

Topic development feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title Excellent User page Excellent Social contribution Summarised with indirect links to evidence. Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Use a numbered list Section headings Overly complicated 3-level structure - consider simplifying. The most important section is "How can psychedelics help (with addiction)?", followed by the Overview and Conclusion. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Key points The chapter plan is spread too thinly across too many sections. Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Overview is underdeveloped Conclusion is not developed The main body provided brief points in the key sections that are directly relevant to the topic. Consider including more examples/case studies. Image An image (figure) is presented. Caption uses APA style. References Good. For full APA style, use: correct italicisation the new recommended format for dois Resources See also 1 link provided (+1 external link) External links should go in external links Rename links so that they are more user friendly Also link to relevant book chapters External links Avoid Australianising - Australia makes up only 0.33% of world population - target an international audience

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page.

Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Learning features Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Note to interwiki links, rather than external links to Wikipedia articles. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Excellent use of numbered lists and bullet-points. Excellent use of image(s). Excellent use of feature box(es). Excellent use of quiz(zes). Excellent use of case studies or examples. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent. APA style in the main body is very good. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Citations are not in full APA style. For example: Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname. References are not in full APA style. For example: Add spaces between author initials. Provide full journal name. Include issue number. Check and correct use of capitalisation. Social contribution ~11 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence - these edits essentially involved significant improvements to the DBT chapter.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a very good presentation. This presentation makes effective use of Powtoon. Structure and content An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured. Minor: Use permanent rather relative time references (e.g., "Since the 2010s" will age better than "last decade"). Minor: Use alphabetical order for citations. The Conclusion (from approx. 2:37) lacks visual presentation of take-home message(s). What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives? Communication The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to. The presentation makes effective use of animated slides with narrated audio. Reasonably well paced. The first third or so is a bit rushed though. Generally good intonation which enhances listener interest and engagement. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality As well as the sub-title, communicate the chapter title in both the video title and on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was generally good, but sounded quite different in different parts. Visual display quality was good - not too much on one screen. Image sources and their copyright status are provided. A copyright license for the presentation is provided in the video description but not in the meta-data. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. A written description of the presentation is provided.

Discussion point

Hi,

I really enjoyed reading your chapter. Your structure and content is very well presented, interactive and interesting ! I would like to bring up a discussion point:

You discussed that psychedelic treatment for addiction could be a great motivator in the treatment of addiction however, I encourage you to consider genetic predispositions to drug induced psychotic disorder which is commonly triggered by psychedelic use. I think that it would be really important to rule out a history of schizophrenia before implementing this type of therapy. Iv have attached a source that explains this in more detail. I would love to hear your thoughts on this :)
