[Interesting article this – about an interesting character, psychiatrist, LSD advocate and fan morphic resonance, Ivor Browne. – daev ]

I first heard of Ivor Browne in connection with an experiment to test out the therapeutic qualities of ketamine. Then a few weeks later a friend bought me a book On Our Backs by Rosita Sweetman, and there was Ivor Browne again. His frank description of the soulessness of modern society caught my attention.

  1. Ivor Browne is a lying, deceptive doctor, who should not be allowed to practice medicine.

  2. Trinny – this is quite a charge you make – yet you make no effort to qualify it. Why do you say that Browne is a ‘lying, deceptive doctor, who should not be allowed to practice medicine’?

  3. ivor browne wrote a paper years ago about family. i still have it and it always helped me define myself with my own family
    He is not the usual doctor but I think he is a deep spiritual human being.
