NORTH COAST, Calif. – Janie Rezner's guest on KZYX's Women's Voices on Monday, Jan 16, will be Julie Holland, MD, a psychiatrist specializing in psychopharmacology.

The show will air at 7 p.m. and can be heard streaming online at www.kzyx.org.

An assistant professor of psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine, Holland spent her weekends running the psychiatric emergency room at Bellevue Hospital for nine years.

She is the editor of “Ecstasy: The Complete Guide-A Comprehensive Look at the Risks and Benefits of MDMA.”

 

Dr. Holland has been quoted as an authority on MDMA in countless magazine, newspaper and Web site articles including Harper's, Slate, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal.

She also has written two articles for the quarterly journal of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, a consortium of international hallucinogen researchers. The first of the two articles detailed a survey of ecstasy and other drugs used at New York City raves.

Holland recently was part of a panel discussion titled “Psychedelic Healing: Can Psychedelics Reinvent Medicine and Society?” at the 2011 International Drug Policy Reform Conference in November held by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies.

Her recent books are "Weekends at Bellevue" and "The Pot Book: A Complete Guide to Cannabis."
