Oscar Janiger

[3] He moved to Los Angeles in 1950, setting up a private practice and later teaching at the University of California at Irvine.

[3] As a pioneer advocate of hallucinogens, Janiger introduced LSD to Cary Grant, Aldous Huxley, and other celebrities, taking the drug 13 times himself.

The participants included celebrities, actors, writers, college students, a Deputy Marshall, housewives, attorneys, clerical assistants, counselors, medical personnel, dentists, physicians, and engineers.

Hertel found while the LSD art was neither superior nor inferior to the artists' other work, it was brighter, more abstract and non-representational, and tended to fill the entire canvas.

A second follow-up study was conducted in 1999 by Rick Doblin, Jerome E. Beck, Kate Chapman and Maureen Alioto, 40 years after the original experimental LSD sessions.

[citation needed] Also at the Irvine faculty, he studied the connection between hormones and premenstrual depression in women.

[3] Janiger published a few journal articles and one book entitled A Different Kind of Healing in 1993 with Philip Goldberg.
