✦ Synopsis
Verified that psychotomimetics attenuate verbal defense mechanisms. This was accomplished by reanalyzing the 5-minute monologues of 7 neurotic depressives who participated in a project (Mechaneck, Feldstein, Dahlberg, & Jaffe, 1968) that examined the effects of LSl) and dextroamphetamine on timing aspects of speech. Dosages were subhallucinatory 15-25mg dextroamphetamine, 50-100mg LSL), and a matching placebo. Volunteers received each drug (double-blind) seven or eight times on a random schedule over a 1%-year period; there was a 3-week intertrial interval. The patient provided d-minute monologues both before and after drug effects. The monologues were t.ranscribed and scored for foiniel measures of defensive language. Results indicated that LSD caused individuals to make more personal statements and to use explanation and evaluations less often. Dext.roamphetrtmine was found t o decrease the use of nonpelsonal references.
