The Creation of Psychopharmacology

"In this book, David Healy follows his study, The Antidepressant Era, with an even more ambitious and dramatic story: the discovery and development of antipsychotic medication. Healy argues that the discovery of chlorpromazine (more generally known as Thorazine) is as significant in the history of medicine as the discovery of penicillin, given the worldwide prevalence of insanity within living memory."--BOOK JACKET.
