Journal of Mental Science 1962 L E Hollister, R O Degan, S D Schultz

Psychotomimetic drugs have been used increasingly in the past decade for facilitating psychotherapy, most experience being with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) (Sandison, 3; Savage, 4; Abramson, 1; Cohen, 2). Few attempts have been made to study experimentally their effects on therapeutic interviews, largely because of technical difficulties.
