Pierre Deniker's name will live forever in the history of psychiatry as the key name on a series of articles about the discovery of chlorpromazine and the invention of the concept of the neuroleptics. It was not just the discovery of a drug, it was the charging of a new terrain. These publications present six key papers covering some of the major issues in psychiatry from 1950s to the 1980s - issues that are still of importance today.
