Abstract
The large body of research demonstrating the effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs in the treatment of acute schizophrenia is selectively reviewed. Research evidence relevant to the following issues is assessed; indications for selective treatment; characteristics of drug responders and nonresponders; indications for high dosage phenothiazine treatment; indications for maintenance therapy; benefits and risks of antipsychotic drugs. Recommendations are made concerning areas of psychopharmacologic research that require further development.Entities:
