Psychopharmacology (the study of drug effects on mind and behavior)

Factors to consider with drug therapy: Normal recovery rate of untreated patients Placebo effect Double blind procedure (neither staff nor patient know who has the placebo)

The first psychological drugs were administered in 1953 with the antipsychotic drugs. In 1955, over ½ a million Americans were living in mental institutions, each staying an average of a few years. Then, with the introduction of tranquilizers, the number declined. By 1965, the number of patients was down to ¼ million, with most patients staying for only a few months.
