Flashbacks: Recurrent Intrusive Images After the Use of LSD
American Journal of Psychiatry October 1, 1969 Mardi J. Horowitz 125 citations
Flashbacks are the return of imagery long after the immediate effects of hallucinogens have subsided. The most symptomatic form involves recurrent, involuntary intrusions of the same frightening image into awareness. The author compares flashbacks with other clinical phenomena and believes psychotherapy is helpful, particularly when it focuses on the traumatic and screening aspects of the imagery.
