Abstract

Pfeffer investigated the effects of withdrawal of drugs upon five hundred morphine addicts and found that only in six were there manifestations of a psychosis. Since morphine addiction represents an extremely severe neurosis, it is surprising that such a small percentage of psychotic reactions accompany withdrawal.
