Despite LSD and MDMA being banned in the 1960s and 1980s, underground psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy continued in Europe. This article describes a Zurich-based psychotherapist who provided individual and group psycholytic psychotherapy for several years before her arrest in 2009. The authors comment on the psychopharmacological, moral, ethical, and legal issues of the case, situating them within the growing medical research on psychedelic substances as mainstream psychiatric treatments.
