As part of the research for my new book, I have come across an excellent book - The "Manual for Psychedelic Guides" by Mark Haden, with contributions from Martin Ball Ph.D., and Dr.
You make great points in your critique and if those are really points that are missing or overlooked in the book then this is biiiig misstep. Bad trips are a thing and they can traumathise both the person experiencing them and also the guide/nonparcipitant.
Good that you have read it and learned what was missing so yours could be better :)
I can totally see a poor soul trying to trip-sit someone based on this book and now they have to deal with hell and the dismemberment of their participant, totally unprepared =)
Hilarity ensues.
I try to do my best to make the best book possible - thankfully I can draw from a wellspring of personal, first-hand experiences, and the best literature available.
