Despite the recent surge in interest in quality of life (QOL) measurement, surprisingly little attention has been paid to QOL in the field of psychopharmacology. Since psychopharmacology is a rapidly developing subject appraising the effect on overall QOL of new drugs is becoming increasingly important. The measurement of QOL in this area raises complex methodological issues; it is argued that there is a need for more QOL research in the field of psychopharmacology.
