Abstract
The case of an organic psychosis following the readministration of an amphetamine-like anorexiant is described. Previous therapeutic use of the same drug 2 years earlier was without adverse effect. Similar phenomena have been reported with other drugs, and both behavioural sensitization and kindling are possible explanations. The latter, however, provides a parsimonious explanation, a therapeutic rationale, and brings together seemingly disparate laboratory and clinical phenomena.Keywords
