Adam Morsing Thyssen
Postgraduate Researcher
Psychology
Adam Morsing Thyssen is an Oxford-trained anthropologist and PhD researcher in psychology at the University of Exeter, working within the Exeter Psychedelic Interdisciplinary Centre. He is supervised by Dr. Leor Roseman, Dr. Andy Letcher, Dr. Stefan Schilling, and Prof. Alexander Haslam.
His research explores the social and psychological processes through which belonging emerges, with a particular focus on group bonding, ritual, and transformative experience. He is particularly interested in how collective contexts—rather than purely individual ones—shape therapeutic outcomes and human flourishing.
He is currently part of PSYCoP (Psychedelic Community of Practice), a placebo-controlled study investigating how psilocybin experiences unfold within structured group settings.
More broadly, his work engages with how collective therapeutic models might respond to contemporary challenges such as loneliness, social fragmentation, and the erosion of shared meaning.
