Bringing together scholars from psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, anthropology, religious studies, philosophy, semiotics, and hypnosis research, the volume addresses the methodological, epistemological, and cultural challenges involved in studying subjective and transformative experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters explore a wide range of phenomena, including hypnosis, trance, mediumship, anomalous experiences, sleep-related experiences, psychedelics, spiritual healing practices, and psychotherapeutic interventions. Contributors critically examine qualitative, mixed methods, neurophenomenological, ethnographic, phenomenological, semiotic, and clinical research approaches, highlighting both their strengths and limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than seeking a single explanatory model, the volume advances a pluralistic framework for the study of consciousness and healing. Particular attention is given to the relationships among subjective experience, cultural context, embodiment, meaning-making, therapeutic change, and scientific inquiry. Across philosophical, clinical, and community-based perspectives, the contributors consider how methodological choices shape what can be known about altered states and their relevance for health and wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy fostering dialogue across disciplinary boundaries, Altered States of Consciousness and Healing: Methodological Approaches provides a contemporary overview of methodological issues in consciousness studies and offers researchers, clinicians, and graduate students a critical resource for investigating altered states of consciousness, spirituality, hypnosis, healing practices, and related phenomena in both clinical and cultural contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaurício S.
