A Statistical Survey of Adverse Reactions to LSD in Los Angeles County

American Journal of Psychiatry September 1, 1968 J. Thomas Ungerleider, Duke D. Fisher, Stephen R. Goldsmith et al. 44 citations

A survey of psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, internists, general practitioners, and psychologists in Los Angeles County counted over 2,000 patients with adverse LSD reactions seen during an 18-month period, which the authors consider a conservative estimate. Despite many clinicians' belief that such reactions were declining, the data show a substantial increase in reported cases from the first six-month period to the third.
