The authors have made an anonymous survey among Czechoslovak psychiatrists on the prescription of psychopharmaca in select psychiatric diagnoses. The first place is occupied by haloperidol, perfenazin and chlorpromazine in hallucinatory paranoid syndromes, amitriptyline and clomipramine in depressions. The authors also wanted to find out which drugs were regarded as unsuitable by each psychiatrist. The replies varied considerably. In comparison with a similar survey made ten years ago, the methods of treatment relatively persist and novelties are rather wished for than really administered.
