View Rights PortalThe heroic story of the invention of antidepressants is a key part of the psychopharmaceutical turn. On Trial revolves around one of its pioneers, psychiatrist Roland Kuhn, who practiced in Münsterlingen, a state-run psychiatric hospital in Switzerland. Kuhn became famous for the 'discovery' of the first antidepressant, Tofranil, and more recently notorious for his numerous trials on often unsuspecting patients. Largely based on the extensive and previously inaccessible sources of Kuhn's private archive, the book delves into the early days of industry-sponsored clinical research in psychiatry. It examines how the clinic, patients, doctors, nursing staff, corporations, and authorities interacted in the trials. Conducted from the 1940s to 1980s, the Münsterlingen drug trials are historicised and situated in the period's evolving landscape of experimentation.

Ob auf einer fernen Insel, auf dem Balkon oder am nahegelegenen Badesee: Der Sommer ist die intensivste Jahreszeit. Frei von Alltagszwängen endlich rauskommen aus dem Trott des Schul- oder Berufslebens und hineinbummeln in die Ferien, am Abend zusammen feiern: Könnte es nicht immer so sein? In der Sommer-Anthologie teilen Autorinnen und Autoren ihre Erinnerungen an die schönste Zeit des Jahres: Friederike Mayröcker beschwört ihren Kindersommer herauf, Benoîte Groult träumt vom Baden um Mitternacht und Christa Wolf sinniert: »Ich glaube, wir müssten anders leben.«In den kühleren Stunden bringen uns diese Texte die großen und magischen Sommererlebnisse zurück. Und die wunderbar farbsatten Bilder von Henrike Wilson runden das Lesevergnügen ab.
Kuhns Thema ist der Prozeß, in dem wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse erzielt werden. Fortschritt in der Wissenschaft - das ist seine These - vollzieht sich nicht durch kontinuierliche Veränderung, sondern durch revolutionäre Prozesse. Dabei beschreibt der Begriff der wissenschaftlichen Revolution den Vorgang, bei dem bestehende Erklärungsmodelle, an denen und mit denen die wissenschaftliche Welt bis dahin gearbeitet hat, abgelöst und durch andere ersetzt werden: es findet ein Paradigmenwechsel statt.
