A review of the literature indicates that such studies are now available on chlorpromazine and mepazine,1,2 promazine and mepazine,3 and promazine and chlorpromazine.4 In a previous paper by us, the effects of chlorpromazine and triflupromazine were compared in the management of the chronic, hospitalized psychotic patient.5 The following study is a continuation of the previous one, utilizing the same population and adding prochlorperazine as a final treatment phase. In this present paper the main emphasis will be on the comparative effectiveness of triflupromazine and prochlorperazine with original treatment with chlorpromazine serving as a base line. As previously, effectiveness is measured in terms of certain psychological dimensions observable in ward and interview behavior.Procedure  The subjects originally selected SN - 0375-8532 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archpsyc.1959.03590020119011 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archpsyc.1959.03590020119011 ER -
