On Trial : Testing New Drugs in Psychiatry, 1940-1980

The book offers a deep insight into the early days of industry-sponsored clinical research in psychiatry. Examining how the clinic, patients, doctors, nursing staff, corporations, and authorities interacted, it not only meticulously reconstructs the experimental practices in a psychiatric hospital from 1940 to 1980 but also tells a larger story: the changing history of clinical trials.
