abstract="The development of a psychotic process was noted in seven amphetamine addicts who had been seen over a period of several years before onset of the psychosis and who had no psychotic tendencies before the addiction. This group was compared with two from the standpoint of the symptomatology of acute psychosis; i.e. acute psychotic episodes under the effects of amphetamines in individuals who were not psychotic before addiction and who were cured at present, and acute psychotic episodes under the effects of amphetamines in individuals who were psychotic at the time of becoming amphetamine addicts. This comparative study attempts to define the signs which precede the development of a chronic psychosis and includes a discussion concerning the clinical picture and its correlation with the pre-existent personality.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
