Ronald Conway
Ronald Victor Conway (4 May 1927 – 16 March 2009) was an Australian psychologist and author, best known for his sociological works of the 1970s and 1980s, including ''The Great Australian Stupor'' which sold around 70,000 copies (a considerable number by Australian standards), and ''The Land of the Long Weekend'' (1978). Among other books by him were ''The End of Stupor?'' (1984)'', Being Male'' (1985), ''The Rage for Utopia'' (1994) and a memoir, ''Conway's Way'' (1988). Career Conway was born in the Melbourne suburb of Oakleigh, the second son of Leslie Conway and his wife Elizabeth, and grew up as an only child (his brother Keith having died before Ronald was born). In later years, he said that his love of books came from his father and his mother taught him to stand up to the world (his ''Who's Who'' entry does not mention her). He also suggested that single-child families should be banned by governments. His early education was constrained by the Great Depression and the ...

Timothy Leary
Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996) was an American psychologist and author known for his strong advocacy of psychedelic drugs. Evaluations of Leary are polarized, ranging from bold oracle to publicity hound. He was "a hero of American consciousness", according to Allen Ginsberg, and Tom Robbins called him a "brave neuronaut". As a clinical psychologist at Harvard University, Leary founded the Harvard Psilocybin Project after a revealing experience with magic mushrooms in Mexico. He led the Project from 1960 to 1962, testing the therapeutic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin, which were legal in the U.S., in the Concord Prison Experiment and the Marsh Chapel Experiment. Other Harvard faculty questioned his research's scientific legitimacy and ethics because he took psychedelics along with his subjects and allegedly pressured students to join in. One of Leary's students, Robert Thurman, has denied that Leary pressured unwilling ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
