Over a five-year period, thirty patients in a maximum security mental hospital were treated with LSD (500 mcmg. I.M.). Three different styles of interviewing procedure evolved with experience: a medical model, a “responsible street model”, and a non-directive model. The interviewer's orientation appeared to significantly affect the patient's perception of the LSD experience. Since it was felt...

RésuméLes auteurs ont comparé des patients souffrant, à la suite de l'ingestion de LSD, de psychoses semblables à la schizophrénie, à des patients chez qui la schizophrénie est apparue en l'absence de l'emploi de drogues. Ils ont examiné les traits cliniques des syndromes et l'incidence familiale de la schizophrénie. Ils exposent en détail les différences observées; elles semblent confirmer...

The Ultraconscious (nirvana, satori, samedhi, ‘cosmic consciousness’, unto mystica, etc.) is a supra-sensory, supra-rational level of expanded consciousness which has been known since antiquity, yet has received little attention from modern psychiatry.

L'auteur passe en revue les études que l'on a faites sur l'emploi des stimulus en-gendrant la répugnance, ou de la diéthylamide de l'acide lysergique dans le traitement de l'alcoolisme. Ces stimulus étaient l'apomorphine, l'émétine, la scoline et le choc électrique. Rien n'indique à l'évidence que ces méthodes sont plus efficaces que les autres, non excitantes, pour traiter les alcooliques....

To summarize briefly: Converging data from many disciplines — psychology, psychiatry, social theory, biochemistry, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology — point to the sensory input regulating mechanism of the central nervous system as a critical factor in the production of hallucinoses and psychotic experience. There is good evidence that what we have called the informational underload model...

Since 1959, 68 alcoholics have been treated with LSD. Twenty-six patients reported sobriety in the follow-up period. The nature of the experience appeared to bear an independent relationship to abstinence.

In this paper we have described some aspects of the LSD-25 treatment given to alcoholics in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. The three main therapeutic reactions discussed are (1) abreaction, (2) the transcendental experience and (3) break-down of inappropriate defence mechanisms. Some case histories are given to illustrate these therapeutic reactions and to give an idea of the kind of person who can be...

Sernyl was administered to 55 patients, chosen at random from the population of a mental hospital. Its disinhibiting potential appears to be related to the dose. Sernyl in doses of 0.07 mgms/kg administered in 7 minutes by the intravenous route activated the patients specific psychopathology to a greater degree than known psychotomimetics (LSD 25 and Mescaline Sulfate). Physiological and...
