Shock Therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, has been considered a method of last resort in the treatment of debilitating depression, suicidal ideation, and other forms of mental illness. This book traces the controversial history of ECT and other "shock" therapies. It exposes the myths about ECT that have proliferated over the years.
