Dille, York 11022 1972 M.D. Department of Pharmacology University of Washington Seattle, Washington Dear Dr. Dille, 98105 Thank you for the invitation to participate in the symposium on anorexigenic agents on May 19 at the Americana Hotel in New York. I look forward to the session, and thank you for inviting my wife as well. She will not be able to attend, but I will appreciate reservations at the hotel-will save my commuting for it the sessions. An abstract of my presentation is attached. I graduated the New York university College of Medicine in 1945; went through the usual residency training programs to become certified in neurology (1952), psychiatry (1954) and psychoanalysis (1953). I have had numerous positions includingDirector, Missouri Institute of Psychiatry and Research Professor, Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis), 1962-66; Professor of Psychiatry and Director, Division of Biological Psychiatry, New York ledical College, l966~ . My principal interests are in quantitative EEG and clinical psychopharmacology; computer applications to psychiatry; ECT and other biological therapies; and recently, narcotic abuse with special emphasis on narcotic antagonists and cannabis. I look forward to meeting participating in the panel. you in New York, and in Sincerely yours, Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry Max ww— �I April 27, Panel Discussion: _, Max Fink, M.D. 1972 Should the Physician Retain the Option of the of Anorexigenic Agents ?

Anorexic agents . r, are not initially differ in secondary effects, some obvious: amphetamine and methanphetsmine stimulation, insomnia, and irritability; of which elicits while fenfluramine excites a sedative response. Both agents should be available to the physician whi must decide on the best therapy for his patient. Limiting the physicians therapy with anorexic agents is but one instance of limitations that fail to serve patients: in other fields, other applications could also be interdicted that have been found useful. The narcotic antagonist, cyclazocine was found to be a successful antidepressant; imipramine was found to be snantidepressant; high dose fluphenazine was found to be antipsychotic-- these are a few examples of useful applications that could have been restricted by inexperienced committees. Physicians should be allowed to give any of the available therapies, using published guidelines as suggestions, but not as restrictions; but this freedom should carry with it a willingness to accept a responsibility for his actions, including unheralded side-effects and their consequences. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
