1. The use of oral methylphenidate to potentiate interviews in 16 office psychotherapy patients was studied for a period of one year. Results indicate that in patients with fixed neurotic processes it can speed the therapeutic progress.
2. The drug gave no physical complications in 16 healthy subjects in doses that were two to four times that ordinarily prescribed. Dosages ranged from 40 to 80 mg. orally per dose.
