Dm‘ing the day I not with Dr. 'Shamff and his associates, Dr's. Sorvino, Solmsdek and Major. modisoussim centered about the two principal research program planned by Dr. Fmedman~ blocking of heroin addiction by oyclazocine and methadone. Dr. anroff and his associates have had some mosual results in their first group of nine patients. There is need for mplioatim, and for some additimal studies to oognplsmnt the clinical observations. Truss types of supporting studies were discussed: biochemical examinations for X's-exposure to heroin, psychological tests for the evaluation of personality of addicts who any or may not respond to such studies to masons the duration tmstmt and murophysiologiosl of blodcing notion. Dr. Shaxoff and his staff are well equipped to omy out the second and third parts of these ancillary program but will probably need better supervision for the biochemistry. if codified, It seems to me that their experience is sufficient, NIH of the an to planning application to or to other mt for support with which you may be acquainted.

Scrmeok, Losmnkopf , Shamff and Sowino, m oontimnd to discuss the drug addictim problem. �Mr. Irwin Somartz ~2— Dr. Sorvino presented the model June 2a, 1965 of establishing an EEG laboratory for clinical investigation. I indicated that it was probably difficult to establish a second clinical BEG laboratory at Metropolitan Hoopital, but that a research laboratory dedicated to the problem of the drug addict or to the other projects of the department could probably obtain support. It became clear that Dr. Servino was very Immh interested in carrying our neurophysiological studies in drug addicts. To assist him, I gave him some reprints of work that might be helpful to him. I would like very such to continue our discussim at the next meeting. his interest in 1301’. At an earlier visit interested in carpeting Indoklon convulsions with electrical convulsions. After reading sous comparative literature and in the worse of our discussion he seemed to focus more on studies of the mode of action of ECT. After describing my experiences at Hillside and the corroborating studies of others, we seesed to agree that a predictive study of the EC! process could be undertaken at Metropolitan. I indicated that to types of data would be necessary, psycho— logical tests and neurophysiological indices . It was apparent that if Dr. Sorvino established a research EEG laboratory, Dr. Schneck could obtain the necessary EEG data. For the psychological test data, however, he would probably need the collaboration of a clinical or experimental psychologist. He suggested that he arrange for the three of us to meet during my next visit. I also pmnised to send him sons literature which I we doing under separate cover. Finally, I spent some time with Dr. Ioewenk0pf. We discussed his program of drug evaluation in the out patient department. As he described his interests it seems that he is less interested in the testing of new ccnpomds than in developing predictors for the application of the drugs. We discussed the Domstate Psycl-ophannacology Program and also some of the behavioral typology approaches developed at Hillside. Since Dr. Sorvino already had the references from Dr. Overall, I suggested that be «mad Dr. Sorvino get together. Since I know Dr. mgelhardt well, I indicated that I would write to him and obtain sure of his reprints. I also suggested that I would send Dr. Loewenkcpf some of those from Hillside and that we should be able to oontinm this dialogue after his vacation. Dr. Schweck discussed he seared �Hr. Irwin Schwartz ~3- June 2'4, 1965 I am inpresscd with the enthusiasm of your staff and believe that a umber of projects can be stimulated.
