Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs by Lawrence Schiller, documenting participants during LSD sessions and psychological observation. A landmark popular treatment of psychedelic research during its pivotal early phase, LSD brings together psychologist and psychedelic proponent Richard Alpert (later known as Ram Dass) and psychiatrist Sidney Cohen, who took a more cautious clinical approach. With visual documentation by photojournalist Lawrence Schiller, the book balances personal insight, emerging psychiatric data, and visual narrative to convey the promises and perils of LSD use.
