[Self-help groups (author's transl)].

This report includes the preliminary results of a research project in which the origin, method of working and result of self-help health groups are investigated. An assessment of self-help groups in Hamburg revealed 210 disease-related, rather rehabilitatively oriented groups and 177 with life-problem-related, rather preventively effective conclusions. In an inquiry of contact persons from 47 groups it was shown that barely two thirds see their expectations fulfilled in the group. Of those questioned, 39 considered their group standing beside the care system, 3 within the system, 5 as counterinstitutions. An exploratory study of the attitude of professional helpers showed that relief of their own work by self-help groups was certainly desirable, but also mixed with the fear of becoming superfluous.

Tilidine abuse and dependence.

Tilidine (Valoron) is a new strong analgesic which was introduced into the market in West Germany in 1970. In February 1978 tilidine was placed under the regulations of the German Narcotics Act because it had rapidly become an easily acquired substitute for opiates on the drug scene. Cases have become known where tilidine dependence developed during the treatment of pain in patients without any preceding addiction to other drugs. The relevant literature on tilidine is reviewed in regard to pharmacological, epidemiological and clinical aspects of tilidine dependence and abuse.

[Tilidin (Valoron) abuse. Results of an enquiry of drug consumers (author's transl)].

Contrary to previous clinical reports tilidin (Valoron), valuable as a strong analgesic, can replace opiates in young people addicted to them. In the drug scene, therefore, Valoron - very often through irresponsible medical prescription - has become a substitute for opiates. The results of an enquiry about Valoron abuse in 44 opiate addicts are reported. Four cases of isolated Valoron addiction are included which were indistinguishable from the typical career of an opium addict. Further cases of Valoron abuse, estimated at 600, have been mentioned to us, partly by name and partly by number. Doctors and pharmacists are urgently advised to treat Valoron with the same caution prescribed for opiates by the Betäubungsmittelgesetz (= Narcotics Act).
