Nidich, S. I. The Science of Creative Intelligence and the Transcendental Meditation Program: Reduction of drug and alcohol consumption. Department of Education, Maharishi International University, Fairfield, Iowa, USA. Paper presented at the New England Educational Research Organization Conference, Lenox, Massachusetts, USA, May 1980.
A substantial reduction in both drug and alcohol consumption was found in subjects who took a course on the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) and learned the Transcendental Meditation technique. Subjects who took the SCI course but did not learn Transcendental Meditation showed a decrease in the use of alcohol. No improvement was noted in members of a personal adjustment class.
