The interdependence of chemistry and medicine is so great that physicians are turning to chemistry, and chemists to medicine in order to understand the underlying basis of life processes in health and disease. Once chemical truths, proofs and convictions become sound foundations for clinical phe- nomena, key hybrid investigators clarify the bewildering panorama of biochemical progress for application in everyday practice, stim- ulation of experimental research and extension of postgraduate instruction. Each of our monographs thus unravels the chemical mechanisms and clinical management of many diseases that have remained relatively static in the minds of medical men for Three Thousand Years. Our new Series is charged with the nisus elan of chemical wisdom, supreme in choice of international authors, optimal in standards of chemical scholarship, provocative in imag- ination for experimental research, comprehensive in discussions of scientific medicine, and authoritative in chemical perspectives of human disorders. Dr. Hoffer and Dr. Osmond of Saskatchewan reveal clinical psychiatry in the light of chemical hypotheses. The inferences based on newer clinical and chemical knowledge, correlate estab- lished facts, integrate hybrid fields and perceive the oneness of mind and body. Mental disorders become the specific symbols in consciousness of the automatic changes in the organism. Anxiety is attributed to hormone imbalance; depression, to epinephrine insufficiency; model psychoses and psychedelic experiences, to psy- ‘chotomimetic compounds; schizophrenia, to taraxein formation; all based on experimental studies of hormonal and drug metab- olism, and its neural control through the hypothalamus, and indi- rectly other centers of the brain. The authors employ many of the newer techniques and especially the most common instrument of all reasoned experimental science—the balanced alternation of guid- ing hypothesis and experimental test.
