SynopsisA survey is provided of the various attempts which have been advanced to classify psychotropic drugs. The unsatisfactory nature of the schemata and the underlying reasons for this are discussed. The possible use of ‘facet analysis’ to develop a classificatory system is suggested.

SYNOPSISAttempts to underpin the classification of psychiatric drugs in biological and clinical terms are discussed with reference to their value and limitations. The current need for a multiplative, heuristic taxonomy is suggested.

Common Pathogenesis

The current clinical use of psychotropic drugs is transnosologically oriented. This is facilitated by the current classification of mental disorders (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision [ICD-10]) and is perhaps justified if depression and psychosis (taken here as examples) are considered as being complex syndromes with heterogeneous etiologies, but common pathogenesis, more than specific entities. However, this approach does not identify possible differences between specific psychiatric entities, which could in turn mask differences in therapeutic responses and, therefore, therapeutic outcome. This is compounded by the current disharmony between the nosological classification of diseases, drug development, clinical research, and therapeutic uses of psychotropic drugs. Functional pharmacology targeting abnormal behavioral traits could represent an avenue for future research and treatment.
