Substance-induced organic mental disorders. A clinical and conceptual approach.
Drug abuse is a prevalent problem in society and often occurs as abuse of multiple substances. The authors present a model for understanding the clinical symptomatology and course of substance-induced organic mental disorders and present a hypothesis that explains how various factors might interact to produce the disorder. A clinical case is used to illustrate the use of this approach and suggestions are made for the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.
