The authors review the history and current uses of the amytal interview. This technique was quite popular over 50 years ago when it began, but has been ignored for the past ten years. A clinical case of mutism is described in this research to illustrate the usefulness of the amytal interview. In this particular case, the narcosis has permitted the uncovering of delusions and consequently the administration of the appropriate treatment.
作者回顾了阿米妥访谈的历史及当前应用。这项技术在50多年前刚开始时相当流行，但在过去十年里却被忽视了。本研究描述了一个缄默症的临床病例，以说明阿米妥访谈的实用性。在这个特殊病例中，麻醉状态使得妄想得以被发现，从而能够进行适当的治疗。
