Abstract
It has been found that opiate abusers once detoxified are afflicted with personality disorders. An attempt was made to test the origin of drug abuse by comparing a group of drug abusers with personality disorders diagnosed as borderline or schizotypal with a group of people suffering from similar personality disorders but who did not use drugs. The results of the test are discussed.
