LYSERGIC ACID DIETHYLAMIDE AS A VARIABLE IN THE HOSPITAL TREATMENT OF ALCOHOLISM

The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease February 1, 1970 William T. Bowen, Robert A. Soskin, John W. Chotlos 68 citations

The use of LSD in treating alcoholism shows negligible long-term benefits. Patients who received LSD as part of a Human Relations Training Laboratory program were compared with those who received a placebo or no LSD. Successful post-treatment adjustment was more closely associated with pretreatment employment level, marital status, and completion of the treatment program than with LSD administration.
