Scope and Contents

The Maryland Psychiatric Research Center LSD Professional Training Program Study files (1970 ­– 1974) are composed of the scientific records of the study, organized by subject identification number. Each file contains some combination of psychological profile reports, personal narratives of the LSD session experience, follow-up survey results about how the sessions affected the subject’s life, and written narratives reflecting on the experience as a whole. The files are identified only by subject ID number, and the series consists of subjects numbered from 1 to 119, with gaps at 81, 115, 117, and 118. In addition to these subject files, there is one file of overall study results.
