The major subject matter of this booklet concems the connection, if any, among and addietion. Are they associated biochemieally? Is there a schizophrenia universal issue for all addietions? we have to be aware of no matter if the chemis test of dependancy can assist make clear the biochemistry of schizophrenia and vice versa. there's a lot anecdotal facts that many victims from schizophrenia are addieted to smoking, are adversely plagued by even small quantities of alcohol and do have their schizophrenie affliction wor sened through highway medicinal drugs. we might urge our readers to aim to discover correla tions among the various findings defined the following at the biology of schizophrenia and what they learn within the up to date chapters on addie tions. we want to thank the entire authors for the distinction in their paintings and for his or her cooperation and figuring out of our wishes and in addition, for the second one time this 12 months, to thank MTP Press for his or her willingness to pub lish a probably a bit of provocative booklet. We thank them for his or her humanity.

No clear antipsychotie effect was observed in this non-placebo controlled, non-'blind' study. More recently, Jorgensen et al. (1979) have claimed an antipsychotic effect of a synthetie pentapeptide resistant to enzymic degradation (Iyr-D-Ala-Gly-MePhe-Met-ol) administered daily for three days by intramuscular injection to nine chronic psychotic patients. Unfortunately this study was neither placebo controlled nor 'blind' and the criteria used in selecting the patients are unclear; the results are therefore inconclusive.

Yet some assumptions of historical importance in the development of the concept are thrown into a new light by re cent observations; other assumptions appear questionable. Thus Bonhoeffer (1909) held that the psychoses provoked by drugs and other toxins (the 'exogenous psychoses') had in common that consciousness was disturbed, and in this respect could be distinguished from schizophrenia.
