King, M. S. The theoretical foundations and practical validation of Maharishi’s Integrated System of Rehabilitation. Barrister and Solicitor of Western Australia and the High Court of Australia. 1993.
This paper focuses on the contributions of the Transcendental Meditation program to resolving the broad social problems associated with addictions. The author proposes that drug and alcohol abuse are symptoms of a general stress-addiction-crime epidemic in society. The paper then reviews sociological research findings showing how societal disorder—experienced as crime, drug abuse, political conflict, and economic instability—can be substantially and cost-effectively reduced through the group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program.
