ABSTRACT
Chasing up the question of who discovered any of the psychotropic drugs or was responsible for the major psychopharmacologic organizations is a bit like watching Akira Kurosawa’s movie ‘Rashomon’, in which someone is murdered and the witnesses and finally even the victim’s ghost each give their version of the events and none of them tally. I had this impression very strongly after reading Towards CINP, which you and Hanns Hippius put together. Having collected all this material, though, you are in a better position than anyone to answer the question of who was responsible for the 1957 meeting in Milan that laid the basis for the CINP?
