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. Dr. Fink discusses the development of ECT from its discovery in 1934, its acceptance and widespread use for two decades until it was largely replaced by the introduction of psychotropic drugs in the 1950's, andElectroconvulsive therapyHandbooks, manuals, etcElectronic books.Electroconvulsive therapy616.89/122Fink Max1923-969584MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449941403321Electroshock2203455UNINA
