  • Title: [Attitudes and beliefs of medical and psychology students with regard to treatment with psycholtropic drugs].
    Author: Linden M, Becker S.
    Journal: Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr; 1984 Oct; 52(10):362-9. PubMed ID: 6500475.
    Abstract:
    Attitudes and assumptions of medical and psychology students in regard to psychotropic medication were assessed my means of a content analytic method. The students were in clinical training. Psychology students were compared with medical students. Attitudes related to psychopharmaca were compared with those related to antiepileptics. Results show that psychopharmaca are mainly criticized, that judgments are based on misinformation and presented with much emotional commitment. Negative judgements also generalize on the prescribing physicians. Consequences for the education of students are discussed.
