In May 1965, Dr. Harold A. Abramson
called together at South Oaks Hospital,
Amityville, N.Y., fifty doctors, scientists,
and psychiatrists from all over the Western world (and from behind the Iron Curtain)
to deliver papers on their work with this
remarkable drug.
Included in the book are discussions of
the thirty-six papers by the participants inthe conference. Their questionings, agree-
ments, and disputes lead inevitably to con-
troversy, but it is an unmistakably pro-
ductive one.

Edited by Harold A. Abramson,

Introduction by Frank Fremont-Smith,
M.D.
In the midst of the nation-wide front-page
furors over the indiscriminate public use
of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) one
fact remains clear. There is an interest un- precedented in recent history in the drug's
mind-damaging or, as most experienced and
responsible investigators claim, perhaps the
greatest breakthrough in psychotherapy in
the last sixty years.
Beneath the near-hysterical headlines,
beneath the allegations of thrill-seeking andcultism, it is sometimes mentioned that in-
formed, expert, and methodical research
into the therapeutic applications of LSD has
been taking place for more than twenty
years.
It is this thorough, important research
and its meaningful findings that are re-
ported, with neither preconceived bias nor
sensationalism, in
The Use of LSD in Psy-
chotherapy and Alcoholism.
