[Disinhibition and its risks].

The authors point out clinically the risks of desinhibition in psychiatry. The classical risk of suicide by suppression of inhibition with melancholic patients is well known and prevented. The main risk for neurotic patients is that of trying to get desinhibition by means of toxicomanic behavior essentially though alcoholism. As far as psychoses are concerned, the risk seems to be mainly that the psychiatrist might misunderstand the concept of desinhibition and make a wrong utilization of desinhibitory treatments. At last, the "institutional" desinhibition constitutes a misunderstanding for psychopathic personnalities.
