Abstract
The prescription and wide acceptance of the use of classic and atypical antipsychotics in childhood and adolescence was legitimated by relying on the supposed therapeutic and curative functions of these drugs. Taking as a starting point the distinction of two explanatory models of action of psychoactive drugs, one centered on the disease and the other centered on the drug, I analyze how the pharmaceutical industry has contributed, with its marketing strategies, to the dissemination of a triumphalist narrative that naturalized the use of antipsychotics as a curefor psychiatric diseases. The two psychopharmaceuticals analyzed are chlorpromazine, a classic antipsychotic, and risperidone, an atypical, state-of-the-art antipsychotic.
期刊介绍:
Politics & Society is a peer-reviewed journal. All submitted papers are read by a rotating editorial board member. If a paper is deemed potentially publishable, it is sent to another board member, who, if agreeing that it is potentially publishable, sends it to a third board member. If and only if all three agree, the paper is sent to the entire editorial board for consideration at board meetings. The editorial board meets three times a year, and the board members who are present (usually between 9 and 14) make decisions through a deliberative process that also considers written reports from absent members. Unlike many journals which rely on 1–3 individual blind referee reports and a single editor with final say, the peers who decide whether to accept submitted work are thus the full editorial board of the journal, comprised of scholars from various disciplines, who discuss papers openly, with author names known, at meetings. Editors are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest when evaluating manuscripts and to recuse themselves from voting if such a potential exists.
