Drug-facilitated psychotherapy can help repressed material become conscious and increase insight. Certain drugs including mescaline, psilocybin, and LSD-25 broaden a patient's spectrum of awareness, enabling them to see and experience affects, childhood memories, conflicts, and impulse strivings previously blocked by repression. The present study aimed to further evaluate LSD-25 as an aid to psychotherapy and develop procedures for its most effective use.
