Abstract
Twelve severe neurotics were treated with LSD (doses of 30-700 mcg. [orally ?]; maximum of 50 treatments) following psycho-analytical treatment. In this way, the author gained experience of 260 model psychoses. . In addition to the typical LSD effect, there were some similarities with schizophrenics given psychotherapy: increased mental sensitivity; increased transference; tendency to spontaneous symbolism; and, in particular, a beneficial therapeutic effect by direct analysis and symbolical wish-fulfillment. . It is concluded that the hypothesis of a biochemical autotoxic origin of schizophrenia does not rule out the possibility of a response to psychotherapy. On the other hand, a good response to psychotherapy does not rule out the possible involvement of biochemical factors in schizophrenia.
