In reply to Psilocybin/OCD study, posted by stjames on May 26, 2000, at 21:41:01
James - While researching a paper I was writing about LSD I had read a few case studies using LSD and psychotherapy successfully in reducing OCD in several people. The LSD was used during talk therapy to gain insight into their disorder. These studies were done just a few years before LSD became a restricted drug. The psilocybin may be used in a similar manner. The results should be interesting. It is nice to see that some of the prejudice toward hallucinogens is beginning to dissipate. I believe that these drugs, if used properly in a clinical setting with a qualified therapist, may help with various psychiatric conditions (eg OCD, substance abuse, certain personality disorders, etc.). Thanks for the info James. - Cam
