Abstract

Describes a patient suffering from myopathy who started abusing drugs, then transmitted his own addiction to his children and other relatives who in turn 'contaminated' others. The family history is presented, including 6 cases of serious addiction, 7 milder cases, and many years of incarceration and hospitalization. Many of the addictions in this family are still continuing. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
