title: [Therapie 1946-1995: 50 years of publication].
abstract: Therapy is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a completely new layout and a special edition that will be released at the first meeting of the European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. This is also an appropriate time to look at its history. Immediately after the Second World War, in 1946, the Société de Thérapeutique, which was originally founded in 1866, was resurrected as the Société Française de Thérapeutique et de Pharmacodynamie. This society launched Thérapie. After a rather difficult beginning, the society began to grow and its journal appeared regularly. There were 1000 society members in 1961 and the journal published 1000 pages, mostly devoted to experimental pharmacology. The society began to concentrate on human pharmacology from 1972, and the number of articles on therapeutics and clinical pharmacology published in THERAPIE increased each year. The section on animal pharmacology was dropped in 1981 and the change in the journal's coverage was complete. The name of the society was changed to the 'Société Française de Thérapeutique et de Pharmacologie Clinique'. THERAPIE became, and has remained, the only French medical journal entirely devoted to clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.
