Laura Ann Shulgin was an American author and the wife of chemist Alexander Shulgin, with whom she wrote the books 'PiHKAL' and 'TiHKAL'. She worked as a lay therapist with psychedelic substances such as MDMA and 2C-B in therapeutic settings while these drugs were still legal. In her writings she stressed the potential of these drugs from a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, as well as their use in combination with hypnotherapy.
