Publication: American Journal of Psychiatry

https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.135.7.821

Abstract

Knowledge of opiate action in laboratory animals can be of great value in developing a rational clinical approach to the treatment of narcotic dependence.

Realization of animal-human correlates of narcotic dependence allows a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of existing therapeutic modalities.
