John K. Vance; Uncovered LSD Project at CIA By Joe Holley Washington
Post Staff Writer Thursday, June 16, 2005; Page B08 John K. Vance, 89,
a member of the Central Intelligence Agency inspector general's staff
in the early 1960s who discovered that the agency was running a
research project that included administering LSD and other drugs to
unwitting human subjects, died....Code-named MKULTRA (and pronounced m-
k-ultra), the project Mr. Vance uncovered was the brainchild of CIA
Director Allen Dulles, who was intrigued by reports of mind-control
techniques allegedly conducted by Soviet, Chinese and North Korean
agents on U.S. prisoners of war during the Korean War. The CIA wanted
to use similar techniques on its own POWs and perhaps use LSD or other
mind-bending substances on foreign leaders, including Cuba's Fidel
Castro a few years after the project got underway in 1953. Heading
MKULTRA was a CIA chemist named Sidney Gottlieb. In congressional
testimony, Gottlieb, who died in 1999, acknowledged that the agency
had administered LSD to as many as 40 unwitting subjects, including
prison inmates and patrons of brothels set up and run by the agency.
At least one participant died when he jumped out of a 10th-floor
window in a hotel; others claimed to have suffered serious
psychological damage. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/15/AR2005061502685.html


The Trauma Center at JRI - A Joint Task Force of the National Child
Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), the International Society for
Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS), and the International Society for
the Study and Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) Led by
Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. have proposed a new diagnostic condition for
inclusion in the DSM-V that addresses the complexity of adaptation to
survive child maltreatment and neglect. Provided here for review,
dissemination, and policy initiatives are two documents.
