Alterações na consciência produzidas por combinações de LSD, hipnose e psicoterapia

Alterations in consciousness produced by combinations of LSD, hypnosis, and psychotherapy.

Original Publication

Summary

This study was designed to measure the changes in consciousness produced by combinations of LSD, hypnosis, and psychotherapy. Five groups of 14 patients received the modified Linton-Langs Questionnaire during baseline and treatment settings. The results indicated that the hypnodelic condition (LSD + Hypnosis + Psychotherapy) caused the greatest alteration in consciousness and could be statistically differentiated from all other conditions in the scale measures and total questionnaire score. The Psychedelic (LSD + Psychotherapy), Mild (LSD), and Hypnotherapy (Hypnosis + Psychotherapy) conditions could not be clearly distinguished from one another, but differed significantly from the Psychotherapy condition and baseline measurements.
