HALLE, Germany (AP)--A sanatorium for the cure of dope fiends within six weeks will be opened shortly in Moesslitz Castle, between Halle and Leipzig, by Dr. Fritz Meyer who for 12 years was himself addicted to morphine.
Dr. Meyer, after 15 unsuccessful courses of treatment, claims to have been finally cured by psycho-analysis. He will treat his dope patients according to a method gleaned from his personal experiences, which he is convinced will enable him to perfect cures in at least one fourth of the time required by other institutes.
The cure is introduced with the immediate suppression of the accustomed narcotic. During the first few days the patient is kept by a soporific in a state of trance to enable him to overcome the nervous effects of the abstention from his habitual drug.
Then follows the actual treatment, consisting of psycho-analytical treatment leading to the disclosure of the patient's inner life back to his childhood with the object of creating in him an entirely new initiative and will power.
