This book examines the prevailing therapeutic methods for morphine addiction during the latter decades of the 19th century, focusing on the author's own 'Mattison Method'. The author advocates for a humane treatment of morphine addiction, criticizing the prevailing method of abrupt and immediate cessation and arguing instead for a gradual withdrawal from the substance. His own method, which is described in detail, involves the use of the sedative bromid to counteract the intense symptoms of withdrawal, along with a precisely measured decrease in the morphine dosage over a defined period. The author provides a systematic and adaptable framework for the treatment of morphine addiction, drawing upon his extensive experience in treating the disease and supporting his method with reported case studies, empirical evidence and medical consensus. This book contributes to the historical understanding of the development of addiction treatments and is essential reading for medical professionals, addiction specialists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the treatment of substance use disorders.
