The use of drugs in interrogation

Introdu tion .he p"rpose of this chapter is to re)ie8 a)ailable scientific 7no8le ge on the "se of phar#acologic agents to infl"ence the co##"nication of infor#ation 8hich, for one reason or another, an infor#ant oes not 8ish to re)eal. .his proble# in co##"nication is not an "nfa#iliar one to the psychiatrist, 8ho often ai#s to reco)er "nconscio"s conflicts or #e#ories fro# the ne"rotic or psychotic patient in the hope of pro "cing therape"tic benefit. .he p"rpose of this chapter, ho8e)er, is not so #"ch to re)ie8 o"r 7no8le ge on ho8 to bring to a person:s a8areness, the feelings, i#p"lses, an i eas of 8hich he is not conscio"sly a8areI rather, the ob9ect is to foc"s partic"larly on the proble# of getting ata fro# a so"rce of infor#ation 8hen the in i)i "al is a8are of the infor#ation b"t oes not 8ant to co##"nicate it, either beca"se the gi)ing #ight incri#inate hi# or p"t into possible 9eopar y an aggregate of people to8ar 8ho# he feels strong allegiance, i entification, an belonging. In the physician:s c"sto#ary role as a helping person an as a healer, it is generally contrary to his #etho of operation to e#ploy any coercion, o)ert or s"btle, to in "ce a patient to beha)e in a 8ay that #ay be etri#ental to hi#self or to his social or national gro"p of origin. Coercion #ay be "se , ho8e)er, if the patient is consi ere to be beha)ing in a #anner that is estr"cti)e to hi#self =e.g., a iabetic ref"sing to ta7e ins"lin or an alcoholic ref"sing to stop rin7ing? or to his

social gro"p. ;"rther#ore, the co e of ethics, partic"larly of the psychiatrist, or inarily bin s the physician to 7eep -96confi ential the secrets that his patients i#part to hi#, 8hether or not the patient has been a8are or "na8are of their nat"re. In the practice of psychiatry, the co e of respecting an 7eeping the confi ences of a patient is consi ere to be a tool that facilitates the confession or eCpression of other8ise taboo #aterial fro# the patient. .he psychiatrist:s office is, i eally, one place 8here the patient fin s that he has i##"nity fro# p"niti)e or isappro)ing action by the society in 8hich he li)es, eCcept for the a )erse criticis# forthco#ing fro# the patient:s o8n internaliGe stan ar s of beha)ior. +ccasionally the psychiatrist:s occ"pation brings hi# into contact 8ith patients 8ith 8ho# the psychiatrist hi#self is le into a conflict bet8een his interest in cha#pioning the 8elfare an pri)ilege co##"nications of his in i)i "al patient an that of the 8elfare of the gro"p$ fa#ily, city, state, nation. In s"ch a F"an ary, e.g., the F"estion of 8hat to o abo"t a person 8ho has confi e his participation in a #a9or cri#e, the physician:s obligation to the in i)i "al an to the co##"nity #ay be in opposition to one another. In this position the physician #ay be force to isF"alify hi#self as a contin"ing confi ant for the patient "ntil the patient has re#e ie his social obligation to the state. 4entioning these sit"ations an the c"sto#ary attit" e of the #e ical profession has a bearing on the s"bstance of this report. .he "se of r"gs in obtaining a confession fro# a cri#inal, or in obtaining infor#ation that a so"rce #ay conscio"sly 8ish to 7eep confi ential for fear of reperc"ssion to hi#self or his gro"p, is fra"ght 8ith ethical conflicts for the physician. .his eCplains in part 8hy there is a relati)e pa"city of syste#atiGe p"blishe scientific in)estigation by physiciaits on this #atter. .he general feeling in 8estern co"ntries regar ing the e#ploy#ent of che#ical agents to J#a7e people o things against their 8illJ has precl" e serio"s syste#atic st" y of the potentialities of r"gs for interrogation. It has not, ho8e)er, precl" e consi erable spec"lation on the s"b9ect, so#e of it rather "nrealistic. 4"ch rele)ant scientific infor#ation has been p"blishe on the therape"tic e#ploy#ent of r"gs. .he b"l7 of the #e ical articles of the last fe8 years on the effects of r"gs on beha)ior eals 8ith the "se an effects of these r"gs on the #entally ill pop"lation. In fact, a gro8ing a)alanche of articles of this type sprang "p 8ith the a )ent of tranF"iliGing r"gs. ;ro# this large bo y of p"blications, the re)ie8er ai#s to eCtrapolate to the proble#s of interrogation. .hen, there is a notably s#aller gro"p of st" ies that eals principally 8iih eCplorations in #etho s of assessing the psychophar#a-9@cologic effects of r"gs on relati)ely nor#al in i)i "als. ;ro# these st" ies, too, the re)ie8er ai#s to transfer 8hat has been learne to the proble#s of interrogation. ;inally, there are the relati)ely rare p"blishe in)estigations on the "se of r"gs for p"rposes of interrogation in police or sec"rity proce "resI these are re)ie8e caref"lly beca"se of their irect rele)ance.
