Australian Prescriber. Medicines out of control? Antidepressants and the conspiracy of goodwill. The book is particularly critical of the reliance of regulatory systems on voluntary reporting of adverse drug reactions.

They anticipate that this crisis may prove to be a watershed in drug control, as was thalidomide. This is a unique and penetrating discourse on the safety of medicines and the ethos of pharmaceutical medic
