Psychotropic drugs are but one of our tools in treatment and when appreciating articles or books about these compounds, it is always stimulating to see that the author(s) know as much about people and the disorders they are treating as about the drugs which they are using. It is also helpful when the separation between symptomatic and curative treatment is made, and “comfort” and “cure” are distinguished. Papers which help doctors help patients rather than those of somewhat esoteric interest have more appeal, and I think we may ask: Does the author relate this to the work of the clinic and ways to assist the next patient?
