Extract

Despite the advent of the stimulant phenothiazines—effective, sometimes, when older dimethyl compounds fail—a proportion of chronic schizophrenics continue to resist treatment with both types of drug, and also fail to respond to intensive nursing regimes designed to combat the effects of institutionalization. These patients constitute a major therapeutic problem.
