Extract

The last five years have seen the beginning of a remarkable new development in the pharmacological approach to psychiatry. Pharmacological treatment for mental disorder is not, of course, new; drugs like hellebore, opium, camphor, bromides, paraldehyde and the barbiturates cover a large part of the history of psychiatric therapy. Since 1951 a number of new drugs with the generic title of tranquillizers have been introduced, of which the two best known are chlorpromazine and reserpine. They have the characteristic effect of producing sedation without producing sleep.
