Chemical Psychoses: LSD and Related Drugs
AU$200 Read MoreAdd to cartLeo E. Hollister
Springfield: Charles C. Thomas, 1968.Hollister was among the leading psychopharmacologists of his generation, conducting controlled studies of LSD and related compounds at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto. Published in 1968, the year federal restrictions on LSD were significantly tightened in the United States, Chemical Psychoses provides one of the most comprehensive contemporary clinical surveys of hallucinogenic drugs.

The work surveys lysergic acid derivatives, mescaline and other phenethylamines, indolealkylamines, piperidyl benzilate esters, phencyclidine-related compounds, and other hallucinogenic agents, while critically assessing claims for their therapeutic use in alcoholism, depression, schizophrenia, and other psychiatric disorders.

Scopolamine-Morphine Anaesthesia and A Psychological Study of Twilight Sleep Made by the Giessen Method
AU$500 Read MoreAdd to cartBertha Van Hoosen; Elizabeth Ross Shaw
Chicago: The House of Manz, 1915.Van Hoosen (1863-1952), pioneering American surgeon, was the first woman to head a surgical department at a coeducational university and a co-founder of the American Medical Women’s Association in 1915. She was a leading American advocate of scopolamine-morphine anaesthesia in obstetrics, the so-called Twilight Sleep method developed at the University of Freiburg. The technique, which rendered patients semiconscious and eliminated memory of labour pain, became the subject of a national campaign intersecting with first-wave feminist and suffrage-era activism following a widely-read 1914 McClure’s Magazine expose. Van Hoosen’s text, drawing on extensive clinical experience, covers the method’s application in both general surgery and obstetrics, with Shaw contributing a psychological study of patients under the Giessen protocol. Illustrated with a mounted photographic frontispiece and fifteen plates. This copy with a presentation inscription by the author.
