International Pharmacopsychiatry August 11, 2017 S. Grof, R.a. Soskin, W.a. Richards et al. 35 citations

A pilot study with 51 alcoholic patients from a state hospital rehabilitation unit tested dipropyltryptamine (DPT) as an adjunct to psychedelic therapy. Evaluation compared pre- and posttreatment results from a battery of psychological tests (MMPI, POI, Raven progressive matrices, PEP, Benton visual retention test) and pretreatment and follow-up ratings by an independent team of social workers. Social workers used 0-10-point scales to measure residential, occupational, and interpersonal adjustment, abstinence, and global adjustment.
