New version (6) of Open MDMA
Hi folks,
See it at https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/aps5g
There's now an ebook version at https://github.com/groeneveld/mdma-guide/blob/main/Open%20MDMA.epub and an html (webpage) version at https://groeneveld.github.io/mdma-guide/.
I substantively edited almost everything for clarity, flow, and rigor. This meant rewriting about a third of total content. It’s much more readable now!
I also double checked that the large majority of claims I make in the book are backed up by their citations. I fixed a handful of errors, but there wasn’t anything major. This process just checked that my claim matched the citation; it didn’t double check that the cited paper is actually correct, since that is much harder to determine.
I also made a few structural changes: Added the Feeling Like You are Going Crazy troubleshooting subsection. Added Alternatives to MDMA. Removed Our Pitch because it didn't fit in well and was redundant. Removed Psychoeducation and Self Determination Theory because they were also redundant. Removed Making Sense of the Experience and distributed its content to Precautions and Uncertain Memory. Reorganized Between Sessions. Shuffled a few other sections around. Condensed Making Positive Life Changes to a small subsection at the end of Life Changes.
Moved T.H. from an author to an acknowledged contributor since they're no longer a part of the project.
As always, I’d love feedback and am happy to answer any questions!
Mark
