“…Critical reflection of such changes is an important aim of assessing updated prescribing patterns on a local, but also on anational and international basis. Surveys ofthis kind could be improved if decision criteria for individual prescribing habits on the basis of the patients symptomatology were also inc1uded (20). A study has therefore been started in which the appropriateness of the individual prescribing habit will be judged according to the AMDP-documented psychopathological pattern (6) of each patient.…”

Analysis of the prescribing of psychotropic drugs in the psychiatric hospital of the Free University of Berlin revealed a slight decrease in the mean number of prescriptions to our patients over recent years. As a response to intensified psychopharmacological pretreatment the proportion of patients who had initially been treated drug-free (up to the 10th day after admission) rose steadily every year. The use of neuroleptics increased significantly, mainly due to increased prescriptions of this group of compounds to endogenous depressives. The use of benzodiazepines, however, decreased in all groups of patients. Simultaneous use of neuroleptics was a clear leader in the category of drug combinations. Low-potent neuroleptics (i.e. perazine, clozapine), clomipramine, and the MAO-inhibitor tranylcypromine were preferred increasingly in recent years; reduced prescription rates were found for haloperidol, clomethiazol, and metamizol. These changes may be related to an ongoing process of reevaluating benefits and risks of available treatments. The systematic updating of prescribing patterns is an essential tool for quality control of psychiatric pharmacotherapy.

Is moral status done with words?

This paper critically examines Coeckelbergh’s (2023) performative view of moral status. Drawing parallels to Searle’s social ontology, two key claims of the performative view are identified: (1) Making a moral status claim is equivalent to making a moral status declaration. (2) A successful declaration establishes the institutional fact that the entity has moral status. Closer examination, however, reveals flaws in both claims. The second claim faces a dilemma: individual instances of moral status declaration are likely to fail because they do not conform to established moral discourse conventions, and reliance on declarations becomes both unnecessary and implausible for explaining widespread collective recognition of moral status. As for the first claim, accepting it undermines the potential for meaningful moral disagreement. As a remedy, this paper proposed a shift in perspective: interpreting moral status claims as assertions rather than declarations. This refined perspective provides a more plausible framework for understanding moral status and avoids the pitfalls associated with the performative view.
