Examples

  • There are two souls in the cocainist -- one tortured by the pain of not having the stuff, the other laughing and mocking at the dangers of it.

    Constance Dunlap 1908

  • The way in which the average physician nowadays neglects the simple tool of suggestive treatment, when it can be used for the protection of society, is perhaps nowhere so reckless as in the case of the morphinist and cocainist.

    Psychotherapy Hugo M��nsterberg 1889

  • To relieve a cocainist of his desire by mere suggestion may demand an assiduity which the average physician simply cannot afford; and nothing requires more time than a real use of Freud's psychoanalytic method.
