I wouldn't want to comment on the validity of his claim, maybe he's wrong, or 
maybe he's... well, anyway... what I will say is I got a chuckle out of 
the 'Citations' that Amazon lists.

I especially like it that Mr. Fant's book is apparently cited in 'The 
Essential Guide to Psychiatric Drugs: Includes The Most Recent Information 
On: Antidepressants, Tranquilizers and Antianxiety Drugs, 
Antipsychotics, ...'

I shudder to think of the creative processes involved in the creation of the 
book.
