Abstract
words, basic research into the etiology of mental disorder is necessary because we know now that in spite of Freud’s discoveries, only part of the cause is based on environmental and psychological factors. It is not useless to evaluate a drug and its effect on mental disorders caused for instance by neurosyphilis. Such evaluation is helpful because we know the etiology of the disorder. But the tremendous effort spent in an attempt to evaluate drugs in the treatment of disorders the etiology of which is entirely unknown by observing the effects on one of the symptoms seems a tremendous waste of able minds. These minds could be put to work on more constructive tasks instead of confusing the clinician with reports and statistics which mean little or nothing. Carl Breitner, M.D., Phoenix, Arizona.
