“…68 The observation that both chlorpromazine and reserpine counteracted the so-called psychosis induced by the hallucinogenic drug LSD stimulated a differentiation between the conventional hypnotics, sedatives and the new generation of neuroleptics and tranquillizers. 69 By suggesting a relationship between chemical and clinical psychosis, this observation created a new scientific, medical and public horizon of brain chemistry and metric in vivo methods for psychopharmacology.

a b s t r a c tThe introduction of chlorpromazine in Belgium and the Netherlands demonstrates an intriguing tango between old and new treatments. Chlorpromazine, marketed by the French company Rhône Poulenc entered psychiatry as an adjunct to existing therapies. Instead of promoting chlorpromazine as a revolutionary therapy, we see early efforts to market Largactil as a supplement to the armoury of psychiatric treatments. These marketing efforts matched the idiosyncrasies of national and local styles and cultures. Despite continuities with earlier therapeutic developments, we support the notion of a therapeutic revolution. In the early sixties supply and demand provoked a turn towards more standardized therapeutic regimes.
