Abstract

Research in experimental psychosis has a long tradition extending through several stages. With the world wide abuse of psychoactive substances it came to an abrupt end. Systematic questions within this framework of research are still unresolved, and research on newly developed compounds is almost completely lacking. A review of the pharmacological and psychological effects of various psychoactive agents is provided, and results of recent experimental studies on arylalkylamines are discussed. It is argued that from a systematic as well as from a methodological viewpoint the traditional approach of experimental psychosis represents a valuable tool in psychiatric research.
