"LSD-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ANXIETY
1. Switzerland: Paper Accepted for Publication in Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
On December 23, 2013, the results of our completed Swiss study of LSD-assisted psychotherapy for anxiety associated with life-threatening illness were accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. This will be the first paper published about a new study of LSD-assisted psychotherapy in over 40 years! The paper will be available for free download once it is published. This double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study in 12 subjects found positive trends in the reduction of anxiety following two LSD-assisted psychotherapy sessions. The study results also indicate that LSD-assisted psychotherapy can be safely administered in these subjects, and justify further research. To learn more about the history and significance of this study, see Principal Investigator Dr. Peter Gasser's update in the Spring 2013 MAPS Bulletin. Learn more... This study is complete and has been fully funded."
More information about the study can be found here. http://www.maps.org/research/psilo-lsd/\ If you haven't heard of MAPS, make sure you check them out. They are doing huge things for the research and possible applications for psychedelic drugs.

Very cool, unfortunately I think a lot of people will use the small number of subjects (12) against the credibility of the study. Whats important is that this will open the door to further studies.

This was only just a pilot study, so that is most likely the reason for the small sample size.
But I agree, getting something like this published is huge for this type of research. I can't wait to see 5-10 years down the road all the published research and how it will possibly affect the scheduling of the drugs (move some of the schedule I drugs to II or III).

Nice, be sure to link to the study when it's possible.

Where was I during this study :O
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free
