The present study had its origin in a nation-wide survey of the use of tranquilizers in Veterans Administration (VA) Mental Hygiene Clinics.1 The major reason given by physicians for prescribing tranquilizers to patients receiving psychotherapy was the reduction of anxiety and of hostility. The two most frequently prescribed tranquilizer drugs reported were chlorpromazine and meprobamate. The survey also found that therapists reported significantly more improvement in patients with little education who received tranquilizers and psychotherapy than in patients with more education who received similar treatment. We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the 23 participating Mental Hygiene Clinic staffs and in particular the following investigators who were responsible for the study at their clinics: Louis A. Cibelli, M.D. (Atlanta); Shabse H. Kurland, Ph.D. (Baltimore); Richard W. Boyd, Ph.D. (Boston); Joseph W. House, Ph.D. (Buffalo); Lester W. Savage, M.D., and Henry H. Weiss, Ph.D. (Chicago); Morton |
