Spring Grove is named as the location of the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, linking it to the book’s account of psychedelic research. The available narrative establishes that institutional association but does not describe the site itself or specify research conducted there.

Identification

The book refers to the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center at Spring Grove. This identifies Spring Grove through its association with a research institution rather than through a description of its geography, buildings, or surrounding community.

Documentary Trail

The institutional name appears in the book’s index with references to pages 52, 57, and 218. Those entries confirm that the center recurs in the book’s documentary record, but the available passages do not supply the referenced discussions or clarify what happened at Spring Grove on those pages.

Place in the Research Landscape

The book describes a broader history in which psychedelic research moved from earlier, sanctioned work into a period of interruption, then resumed in modern clinical settings. It also notes that knowledge from earlier researchers and underground therapists informed later research. Spring Grove is identified as the site of a research center, but the available evidence does not establish its particular role in that wider history or connect it to any specific study described in the narrative.

Scope of the Account

Spring Grove’s significance here is institutional and documentary: it locates the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center within the book’s research landscape. The available material provides no account of the center’s staff, programs, patients, treatment methods, or development, so those details cannot be attributed to the location on this evidence.
