Biography

Salvador Amigó is a full university professor at the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Valencia (Spain). He has worked in different areas, such as history, economics, philosophy and, especially, psychology. He is the creator of Self-Regulation Therapy, a psychological technique based on suggestion and classical conditioning. This technique has been shown to be effective in treating emotional disorders and unhealthy habits such as smoking. But the most original and innovative use of this technique is the reproduction of the effects of drugs, both legal and illegal (cocaine, heroin, cannabis, etc.). He has written numerous scientific papers on this subject, as well as books such as Manual of Controlled Drug Use, that is a reliable guide for smart drug use, and a guide for researchers worldwide that offers material and methods to experimentally study controlled drug use and its psychotherapeutic use.
