title: [Forensic psychiatric expert evaluation of so-called drug-induced psychoses].
abstract: A considerable number of schizophrenic persons also abuse illegal drugs. This comorbidity raises problems of diagnosis which become particularly important when concerning forensic questions. The hypothesis of a distinct psychopathological syndrome of drug induced psychosis is widely criticized in the literature. A case report is presented to demonstrate the problems of differential diagnoses and the difficulties for psychiatric expertizing arising from these problems.
