The Psychedelic Experience - A New Concept in Psychotherapy

Journal of Psychedelic Drugs April 1, 1968 Janet Sherwood, Myron J. Stolaroff, Willis W. Harman 24 citations

By simultaneously administering massive doses of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and mescaline, the authors aimed to produce a profound and impressive experience for the patient that changes their evaluation of past life experiences, potentially leading to new values and a more realistic frame of reference. The experience is broadly likened to a religious conversion. The paper describes patient preparation, administration and dosage, and the modalities of experience under the drug, with a few short illustrative cases.
