The Effects of LSD on Body Sway Suggestibility in a Group of Hospital Patients
The British Journal of Psychiatry March 1, 1967 R. Middlefell 27 citations
In short-term therapy using 75 to 200 micrograms of LSD over one to six sessions, the author observed that suggestibility appeared to be affected by the drug, an effect rarely noted in standard classifications of LSD. Helpful remarks made while patients were under the influence of LSD often proved far more effective than the same remarks made in ordinary interviews. The author suggests that classifying the phenomena of LSD intoxication could be oriented toward therapeutic dynamics or rely on purely descriptive, symptom-based terms.
