UK sociological research paper re prescribing benzos 2007

I don't know if I have read this before or may even have posted it before but I found it interesting. It is a UK study though and might not be so interesting for those overseas.

Looking at this paper again I see that the US Government raised a legal action against Roche in the 1960s.

Would live to know more about that.

This is an intriguing article that I came across a number of years ago but could not share at the time. I'm glad you found a way to do so, Fiona. I only had access to it as a document. But it's fascinating, I think, because it shows the difference in attitudes between different practitioners. I haven't read it for awhile now, so I may re-read it, now that you've shared it.

I do hope others will read it, since it's well worth the time.

Thanks!

Thanks, Lapis. I found it  interesting too and some of the background information in the introduction is interesting too.
