Abstract
Most reports on the treatment of drug addiction describe only some form of aversion therapy, either by electrical (Lesser, 1967) or chemical means (Raymond, 1964). There seem few reports in which any attempt has been made to correct the underlying disorder which was responsible for the patient's addiction (Seelye, 1967). The argument is put forward that the basic disturbance in drug addiction is frequently one of social anxiety, and that when this has been corrected the patient no longer requires drugs for his support.
