Extract

Narco-analysis is an eclectic technique based on the observation (6) that a combination of narcosis with psycho-therapy is quicker and sometimes more effective than the formal methods of analytical psychology. The earlier attempts of this kind were limited to the non-analytical methods of overt suggestion augmented by drugs.
