Klerman, a psychiatrist and assistant clinical director of the Massachusetts Mental Health Center, said that he and his colleagues had been doing work with psilocybin for at least eight years, but that this research, along with projects at other medical centers, had been "poisoned" by the public controversy arising from the experiments conduced by Leary and Alpert...
