Bio-clinical prevalence or non-prevalence of drug addiction over psychiatric symptomatology.
It has been found that opiate abusers once detoxified are afflicted with personality disorders. An attempt was made to test the origin of drug abuse by comparing a group of drug abusers with personality disorders diagnosed as borderline or schizotypal with a group of people suffering from similar personality disorders but who did not use drugs. The results of the test are discussed.
