‘Adjuvant’ —forsooth! Now we know from the list of contents headings of your December issue that you really believe you edit the ‘British Journal of Pharmaco-psychiatry‘! We, the ‘adjuvant therapists', may be a motley crew of neurosurgeons, behaviour therapists, analysts and occupational therapists, but with only our scalpels, training schedules, couches and raffia we should be able to rescue most of our patients from the machinations of you druggists! Adjuvants of the world arise—we have nothing to lose but our humanity!
