Psychoactive Drugs (silent, 1960s)

Psychoactive Drugs features a roundtable discussion in the 1960s among a group of notable middle-aged doctors, including Nathan S. Kline, M.D., Heinz Lehmann, M.D., V.J. Kinross-Wright, M.D., Henry Brill, M.D., Joel J. Elkes, M.D., Fritz A. Freyman, M.D., and Douglas Goldman, M.D. The group discusses the state and progress of public mental hospitals, with a large yellow and blue bar graph behind them displaying dates from 1946 through the 1960s. Produced by Norman Weissman, the film captures an important era in psychiatry and mental health, with a focus on the evolving use of psychoactive drugs.
