Abstrakt: Drugs termed tranquilizers have been used widely for a variety of conditions in both adults and children in the United States. It might be thought that a period of time should suffice for clinical trials to provide good evidence of their efficacy in any particular problem. A large number of the published clinical reports do not fulfill even minimum critical standards. This situation is being remedied slowly, but reports continue to appear which are scientifically unacceptable. Most of the conditions for which the tranqnilizers are used do not lend themselves to objective quantitative assessment or to statistical methods of analysis. Clinical impressions in these conditions are notoriously fallacious.
