Summary:
"Electroshock therapy (ECT) has long suffered from a controversial and bizarre public image, a reputation that has effectively removed it as a treatment option for many patients.

In Electroshock, Max Fink, M.D., draws on 45 years of clinical and research experience to argue that ECT is now a safe, effective, painless, and sometimes life-saving treatment for emotional and mental disorders."--BOOK JACKET.

"A sourcebook for patients, their families, caretakers, and mental health professionals, Electroshock clarifies misconceptions about ECT."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
