Excellent Review of ECT - electroconvulsive, electroshock,

This review is from: Electroshock: The Case Against (Paperback)
This book by Dr. Robert P. Morgan explores the history of ECT, as well as its re-emergence as a treatment of choice, based on the marketing of a new and improved ECT. Says Morgan: "The only depression it cures is the economic depression of psychiatry." Anyone who is interested in the history of ECT and the medical issues surrounding it should read this book. It includes chapters by Dr. Peter Breggin, Dr. John Friedberg and Leonard Roy Frank. If you only read one book about ECT, let it be this one.

This review is from: Electroshock: The Case Against (Paperback)
The newest edition with the forward by Bertram Karon has made this continually useful for my psychology students. ECT is still around and this information needs to get out.
