However, Bill Wilson, the co\u2010founder of AA, in his second letter to Jung referred to its low success rate. One evidence\u2010based alternative, dating back to the 1950s, is the clinical use of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) for treating AUD. Bill Wilson was a strong advocate of using LSD as a preparation for alcoholics who had difficulty grasping the spiritual aspect of the 12\u2010step programme. Bill Wilson wrote a \u201csecret\u201d four\u2010page letter to Carl Jung detailing his own use of LSD and the success two psychiatrists in Canada had in treating alcoholics and asked for his advice on using LSD to help alcoholics. Aniela Jaff\u00e9, a Jungian analyst and co\u2010worker of Jung, replied to Wilson on May 29, 1961, \u201c\u2026 as soon as Dr. Jung feels better and has enough strength to begin again his mail, I will show it to him.\u201d Jung died a week later. This article quotes Jung's previous hostile opinions on psychedelics and asks: Just as Jung overcame his negative views on groups when giving \u201ccomplete instructions\u201d on extending the 12\u2010step programme of AA to \u201cgeneral neurotics\u201d, might he similarly have changed his mind when he saw the documented success of using LSD with recalcitrant alcoholics?<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-5922.13027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,31]],"date-time":"2024-07-31T03:05:24Z","timestamp":1722395124000},"page":"550-580","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["AA, Bill Wilson, Carl Jung and LSD"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"69","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0210-6279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"McDonnell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dublin  Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Moriarty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ian Mc","family":"Cabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dublin  Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Higgins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dublin  Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","volume-title":"Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book","author":"Alcoholics Anonymous","year":"1976"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","volume-title":"Pass it on: The story of Bill Wilson and how the AA message reached the world","author":"Alcoholics Anonymous","year":"1991"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","unstructured":"Bible.English Standard Version 2001."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1093-4510.9.4.313"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","volume-title":"Bill Wilson: His life and the creation of Alcoholics Anonymous","author":"Cheever S.","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2019.00943"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","first-page":"61","volume-title":"Psychedelics and individuation: Essays by Jungian analysts","author":"Furlotti N.
