Cohen, Sidney

In 1960, Dr. Sidney Cohen s meta-analysis of 25,000 LSD exposures (derived from a large number of published reports) indicated a surprisingly low incidence of flashbacks and a very low rate of suicide. Almost all of them occurred soon after LSD use suicides thereafter tended to reflect the incidence in the general population.

A United States Senate Subcommittee heard about the severity of the problem from a Dr. Sidney Cohen. He said that 10 billion barbiturate doses would be produced in 1969.

Sidney Cohen, one of the first to receive LSD in the Los Angeles area, who, according to Oscar Janiger, was instrumental in introducing the social use of LSD.

Toward the end of the 1950s, Dr. Sidney Cohen, a psychiatrist affiliated with the Veterans Hospital at UCLA, procured large supplies of this novel drug. He became interested when he heard that this substance was a "superior delirient. After self-experimentation, he told his colleagues that although LSD was not a "true delirient, it was worth intensive study. An account of Cohen s first trip can be found in his The Beyond Within (p. 106), which he wrote but attributed to an anonymous doctor.

Are the visions of a prophet revelation or disease Does schizophrenia encompass both the delusional paranoiacs and the holy men whose trances have provided us with messages which many consider gospel The psychedelic drugs have a contribution to make in the understanding of such matters, Sidney Cohen, MD (1964). 

The differences between the easy and the hard ways must be similar to the situation in which one man climbs the [mountain] and another takes the ski-lift. The view from the top is the same for both. The mountain climber has sweated and striven against the dangers. His view must be different from the ski-lift rider s because it incorporates the struggle and the trimnph. Ski-lift transcendence can approach that of the mountain climber s only if the prior life preparation has also been one of training and self-discipline, Sidney Cohen 1964. 

Self-identity is completely lost, and the self and that which is outside the self fuse. The ordinary subject-object relationships disappear, along with the conventional separateness of the external object. The extension of this egolessness can culminate in xmion or communication with the divine, Sidney Cohen, MD (1964). 

The extremely depressed, the hysterical and the paranoid personalities are poor risks because of the danger of accentuating their depressive, hysterical or paranoid tendencies. The borderline psychotic is a precarious patient because of the danger that he may decompensate and fall into a full-blown psychosis, Sidney Cohen, M.D.(1967).
