Abstract:
US senator Charles Grassley (Republican, Iowa) is no Sigmund Freud, but since early this year he has succeeded in putting the psychiatric establishment on the couch. Grassley, the senior Republican on the Senate finance committee, has detailed how eight prominent academic researchers (see ‘Show me the money’) failed to obey rules and report to their universities payments from drug companies, some running into seven figures.
