The psychologist Timothy Leary (1920-1996), an iconic cultural figure in the United States in the 1960s and afterward, has received comparatively scant attention in the history of psychology. This may be due to perceptions that, after a major career shift centering around his experimentation with psychedelic substances and his subsequent dismissal from Harvard in 1963, Leary parted company with the field. While there are several good reasons to adopt this view, examination of his entire career as well as his intellectual ancestry reveals unacknowledged continuities, suggesting that a more prominent place be accorded to him in the history of psychology, as well as to the challenges he poses.
心理学家蒂莫西·利里（1920 - 1996）是20世纪60年代及之后美国一位具有标志性的文化人物，但在心理学史上受到的关注相对较少。这可能是因为人们认为，在经历了以迷幻物质实验为核心的重大职业转变以及随后于1963年被哈佛大学解雇后，利里与该领域分道扬镳了。虽然有几个充分的理由支持这种观点，但审视他的整个职业生涯及其学术渊源会发现一些未被认可的连续性，这表明在心理学史上应给予他更突出的地位，以及他所带来的挑战。
