Abstract The "Affective Contra-Attribution" method of alcoholism treatment consists of three stages: (1) an introductory psychotherapeutic stage; (2) psychedelic treatment with ketamine utilization: and (3) therapist led group discussion of the patients' psychedelic experiences. The stages of psychedelic treatment include psychotherapeutic dialogue with the patient within the context of the negative hallucinatory emotional experiences induced pharmacologically by subanasthetic ketamine doses in combination with bemegride and aethimizol. This method of treatment is compared to a more traditional form of therapy and the outcome indicates that the ACA mehod is more effective.
