Biography
Bill Richards is a clinical psychologist who worked with psychedelic-assisted therapy in the 1960s and 70s before the field was shut down by prohibition. He rejoined the Johns Hopkins program when it relaunched in the early 2000s, bringing with him decades of direct experience as a session facilitator. Richards has been the most consistent voice in the clinical psilocybin world connecting the therapeutic and spiritual dimensions of the experience — arguing that the two are not separate.
