| Popis: | In the course of studying the clinical effects of LSD-25 various workers have commented upon its possible use as an aid to psychiatric diagnosis. Stoll (1947) and Becker (1949) considered it to be of limited value in this respect. Condrau (1949) pointed out that it tended to exaggerate catatonic and hebephrenic features in schizophrenics and to produce a caricature of the personality in normal subjects; the latter point also being made by Anderson and Rawnsley (1954). Von Felsingeret al. (1956) considered the primary psychological effect of the drug to be an exacerbation of existing symptomatology, through a weakening of central functions and defence systems. |
