early experiments, LSD was administered in a single large dose along with a specialized environment, eyeshades, headphones, and selected music. A preparatory period allowed a trained therapist to deeply explore the background of the patient. Doses ranged from 250 to 800 micrograms sessions, which would last from 8–12 hours. This method was called the "mind-manifesting approach." By the late 1970s, a more extensive method was developed, called "the extended paradigm," as named by Stanislav Grof. This involved the administration of several high doses, an increased number of therapeutic sessions, and a greater emphasis on personal dynamics between therapist and patient. It was not expected that positive results would occur with pure drug administration. Psychedelic therapy involves the use of a hallucinogenic, perception-altering drugs coupled with psychotherapy to treat patients psychologically. The goal of the procedure was to unearth internal conflicts by administering LSD and then use therapy to resolve and work through these emerging latent conflicts. "Mystical peaks" experienced by LSD-treated patients would often give the patient insights and new outlooks on life. Therapy would be used to apply these insights to the individual's personal life. Musical therapists eventually joined staffing. The main objective of therapy was to provide support and companionship to the patient. Patients' experiences In the original 1955 experiment conducted on patients with schizophrenia, there were 20 subjects that received LSD. The experiences and reactions of these subjects were categorized under 3 characteristics covert, which signified a subtle or delayed response; intensification, which pushed the patient's existing symptoms to extremes; and reversal, which occurred when patients assumed a state opposite to his or her original symptoms. The following are accounts of patient responses during several experiments conducted at Spring Grove: In the 1955 trials on people with chronic schizophrenia:A second patient in the 1955 study who was normally aloof, laughing, and idle became uncharacteristically serious 30 minutes after drug administration. She called the doctor by his correct name for the first time, saying:In the 1965 CBS documentary, the story of Arthur King, a man experiencing alcoholism and being treated with LSD and psychotherapy, was highlighted. Some of the alcoholic patients who underwent LSD and psychotherapy treatment at Spring Grove felt happier after the treatment and had no more desire to drink. One patient, Arthur King, was admitted into Spring Grove State Hospital as an alcoholic. He underwent the treatment. Afterwards, he reported that he had no more
