"Between 1957 and 1968 the Hollywood Hospital conducted psychedelic psychiatry experimentation, treating alcoholics, anxiety patients, and unhappy couples. Its unorthodox methods boasting a success rate of 50-80%, and attracting scores of celebrity patients, including Andy Williams, Cary Grant, and Ethel Kennedy.
