Psychoactive Drugs (silent footage, 1960s)

The silent footage is from the film, “Psychoactive Drugs,” and features footage of a roundtable discussion among prominent middle-aged psychiatrists and medical professionals in the 1960s, focusing on public mental hospitals and the role of psychoactive drugs in treatment. The discussion is led by Nathan S. Kline, M.D., with participants including Heinz Lehmann, M.D., and other notable experts. A yellow and blue bar graph on a stand serves as a visual aid, with the X-axis spanning from 1946 to the 1960s, likely illustrating trends or impacts related to mental health care or drug use. Sponsored by the Roerig Division of Chas. Pfizer & Co., Inc., the film emphasizes the intersection of psychiatry, medication, and institutional care during this pivotal era.
