Men + Mushrooms
Research accompanying my MSc Psychedelics study at The University of Exeter
Why are men choosing psychedelics to help improve their mental health and wellbeing, over methods like talk therapy? How can services adjust?
This conceputal academic research into men’s psychedelic use is part of my MSc Psychedelics: Mind, Medicine and Culture postgraduate degree course, at The University of Exeter, UK.
Scroll down for ‘What can services learn from men seeking psychedelic treatment?’ my inclusion in the Poster Presentation at Exeter University’s 2024 Psychedelic Integration Conference.
And ‘How Psychedelics Help Men Engage with Spiriutality’ first presented at US university Boston College’s London campus, as part of its Psychology and the Other 2024 conference.
I’d be delighted to talk at upcoming events – get in touch here and find out more about me here.

If you came here via a direct link and you’re wondering “WTF are this guy’s credentials?” I’m Steve Langsford Beale, recently MSc. Psychol. (GBC). I’m a journalist and magazine editor: this has included working in what are considered ‘male spaces’ like magazines Arena, Homme Plus and FHM, for menswear brands Stone Island and Ben Sherman, plus in the sport of mixed martial arts (not competing).
Here’s my website and work email plus a sample piece on how to talk to your boss about mental health in Mr Porter Journal. By all means hit me up on LinkedIn. The especially intrigued can read this interview with me by Harriet Sheperd on Resident Advisor.
