Laing, and Mark Twain. Corey and his second wife Maas were clinical psychologists, dedicated peace activists, and participants in a variety of counterculture movements. In the 1950s and 60s, Corey associated with many of the principal figures of the nascent psychedelics movement, including Timothy Leary. OCLC locates six institutional holdings.
