Twenty-two months of 'analytic care' of a constitutional psychopath with drug addiction, made possible the study of one hundred and fifty-three dreams. The outstanding characteristics of these were: shallowness, immediate motor response to dream contents, paucity of symbolism, contradiction regarding sexual life and the absence of guilt feelings as well as of affection. Karpman considers these features of the dream life of differential diagnostic value, rendering it pathognomonically different from that of the normal, the neurotic and the psychotic.
