Maryland Psychiatric Research Center at Spring Grove

Maryland Psychiatric Research Center at Spring Grove is identified in the book’s index through references to Spring Grove and to the center itself. The supplied narrative passages do not establish its internal structure, the research it conducted, or the people associated with it. Its significance here is consequently documentary but limited: the institution is present in the book’s historical record, while the available evidence does not support a fuller institutional history.

References in the Book

The index material associates Spring Grove with page references 57 and 218, and lists Maryland Psychiatric Research Center at Spring Grove with references 52, 57, and 218. These citations show that the institution recurs in the book’s record rather than appearing only as an isolated name. The excerpts available here, however, do not include the corresponding narrative passages, so they do not reveal what events or claims those pages discuss.

Research Context

The broader account describes psychedelic research as a field shaped by changing relations among clinical investigators, guides, and institutions. It notes that research resumed in the late 1990s after sanctioned psychedelic therapy had ended, and that the later work drew on both earlier studies and the anecdotal knowledge of underground therapists. It also emphasizes the difficulty of separating a drug’s effects from the treatment setting, the therapist’s presence, and participants’ expectations. These points frame the research landscape in which an institution such as Spring Grove is indexed, but the passages do not establish that the center conducted any particular study or adopted any specific method.

Limits of the Record

The evidence supports identifying Maryland Psychiatric Research Center at Spring Grove as a named institutional reference and locating its index citations. It does not support claims about the center’s founding, organization, research agenda, results, or influence. Those questions require the referenced pages or additional source material; without them, a more detailed account would go beyond what the book excerpts establish.
