title: [Clinical aspects and dynamics of heroin abuse depending on the premorbid features of personality].
abstract: Clinical picture is studied together with the time-related course of heroinism depending on premorbid features of the personality. An association has been demonstrated between the personality premorbid patterns and clinical manifestations of a pathological addiction to heroin, rate of formation and severity of the abstinence syndrome, and tempo of progrediency of the trouble as well. The course of the illness has been shown to be less favourable in excitable type personalities.
