Roland Kuhn tested psychotrophic drugs at the Psychiatric Clinic of Münsterlingen for decades. But since he passed away in 2005 his work came under severe criticism.
Roland Kuhn tested psychotrophic drugs at the Psychiatric Clinic of Münsterlingen for decades. He went down in history as the discoverer of the effect of the first anti-depressant. But after the longtime deputy director and eventual director of the clinic at Lake Constance passed away in 2005, ethical issues were raised: Had the psychiatrist asked permission of his patients and their relatives? Or did he conduct his trials without their consent?
