Evolution of psychopharmacology is discussed from the viewpoint of the growth of the number of psychotropic drugs, their use and the rate of scientific reports related to them. Power is discussed from the standpoint of economic perspectives, although it is not the only aim. On the other hand, the influence of the psychopharmacological "boom" on the development of the specialty is analyzed. The limits of psychopharmacology achieve their maximum extent when they are combined with the study of psychological, social and cultural factors and determinants and, hence, to other therapeutic methods.
从精神药物数量的增长、其使用情况以及与之相关的科学报告的发表率的角度，探讨了精神药理学的发展。尽管权力并非唯一目标，但从经济角度对其进行了讨论。另一方面，分析了精神药理学“热潮”对该专业发展的影响。当精神药理学与心理、社会和文化因素及决定因素的研究相结合，并因此与其他治疗方法相结合时，其局限性达到了最大程度。
