The disease centred model of drug action in psychiatry -- An alternative drug centred model of drug action -- Physical treatments and the disease centred model -- The arrival of the new drugs and the influence of interest groups -- The birth of the idea of an "antipsychotic" -- Are neuroleptics effective and specific? a review of the evidence -- Whatdo neuroleptics really do? a drug centredaccount -- The construction of the "antidepressant" -- Is there such a thing as an antidepressant? areview of the evidence -- What do antidepressants really do? -- The idea of special drugs for manicdepression -- Evidence on the action of lithium and mood stabilisers -- Democratic drug treatment:implicationsof the drug centred model -- The myth of the chemical cure.

This book exposes the traditional view that psychiatric drugs correct chemical imbalances as a dangerous fraud. It traces the emergence of this view and the way it supported the vested interests of the psychiatric profession, the pharmaceutical industry and the modern state. Instead it is proposed that psychiatric drugs 'work' by creating abnormal brain states, which are often unpleasant and impair normal intellectual and emotional functions along with other harmful consequences. Researchon antipsychotics, antidepressants and mood stabilisers is examined to demonstrate this thesis and it is suggested that acknowledging the realnature of psychiatric drugs would lead to a more democratic practice of psychiatry.
