Abstract
The available evidence on the effects of LSD indicates that it reactivates anxiety and fear and at the same time facilitates the acquisition of confidence. On the other hand, there is evidence to suggest that LSD disorganizes the psychic integration of the individual. "Although a review of the therapeutic value of LSD for chronic emotional disorders seems inconsistent, there is some agreement that LSD is ineffective for anxiety states and for schizophrenia." 50-item bibliography.Keywords
