THE ARTICLE SURVEYS OPINIONS AND LA DING CONTROVERSIAL
METHODS WHICH ME. CAL PS H THERAPIST A. KASH_IY ND OTHER
PROFESSED HEAL RS HAVE BEEN USING. ERPTS ARE PUBLISHED FROM
TELEVISION INTERVIEWS WHICH WERE GIVEN IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR BY
KASHPIROVSKIY; V. MEDVEDEV, CORRESPONDING MEMBER AND DEPUTY CHIEF
SCIENTIFIC SECRETARY OF THE USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCES; AND
ACADEMICIAN V. KAZNACHEYEV, DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF CLINICAL
AND EXPE IMENTAL MEDICINE OF AMN SSSR4' S IBER N BRAII SOME
INTERVIEWEES ATTACKED THE DECISION TO PERMIT BROADCASTING OF
KASHPIROVSKIY'S HYPNOTHERAPY SESSIONS OVER NATIONWIDE TELEVISION
WITHOUT PRELIMINARY EXPERT EVALUATION OF CONDITIONS IN WHICH SUCH
THERAPY IS ADVISABLE. CONTACTED BY TELEPHONE IN REGARD TO THIS
MATTER WERE FIRST DEPUTY HEALTH MINISTER I. DENISOV, WHO AUTHORIZED
THE TELECASTS; DEPUTY HEMINIS E V. ILINDEPUTY
HEAD OF THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH'S MAIN SCIENTIFI_C_ADMINISTRATION. AND - 9'P =ET KADPOV_, H"F1=ATRY AOF THE MIN TRY
MEDVEDEV MENTIONED THAT HIS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL
PHYSIOLOGY IS IN FAVOR OF ORGANIZING OBJECTIVE RESEARCH OF
KASHPIROVSKIY'S METHODS BY ACADEMY SCIENTISTS, IF THE NECESSARY
FUNDS CAN BE OBTAINED FOR THIS PURPOSE. POKROVSKIY ESTIMATED THE
COST OF SUCH A PROJECT AT SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND RUBLES. HE
THOUGHT THAT PERSONS SUFFERING FROM NEUROSES AND FUNCTIONAL
DISORDERS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM TELEVIZED THERAPY; ON THE OTHER HAND,
TEMPORARY REMISSION OF SYMPTOMS IN PERSONS SUFFERING FROM GRAVE
ORGANIC ILLNESSES MIGHT DELAY RENDERING OF NEEDED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
TO THESE PEOPLE. KASHPIROVSKIY EXPRESSED WILLINESS TO SUBM~5
HODS TO FRANK DISCT~SSION AND EXPERIMENTAL TESTING, PROVIDED
RMETESULTS OF SUCH INVESTIGATIONS WERE
PUBLICLZED.__EAIRLY AND
OBJECTIVELY. HE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE BEST TO LEAVE THE TASK OF
INFORMATION GATHERING TO SPECIALISTS, HOWEVER.
KAZNACHEYEV REPORTI__THAT HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES HD_UST_COMPLETED A
