Illusory Transformations
Of The Therapist

Representations of illusory transformation of the therapist. Each image reflected the nature and content of the patient's psychedelic experience at that particular time.

He appears as an Arabian merchant dealing with dangerous drugs...

...a wild and primitive African native...

...an Indian sage radiating perennial wisdom...

...and a nosy detective with a large pipe ("Sherlock Holmes"). Here the patient is depicting his irritation with the therapist's inquisitiveness and objectivity.
