Review

"What I like best about this truly handy handbook is its brevity and conciseness. Easily read in one short sitting, it deftly capsulizes everything practical that any nurse, psychology student, psychiatric social work student, medical student, or first-year psychiatric resident needs to know about electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), fully living up to is authors' goals as a 'pocket reference' for the practitioner."- "Psychiatric Services"

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information about "the treatment of last resort." 30 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Spiral-bound
I picked up the book with a strong bia against ECT. The book addressed many of those biases and demonstrated that those biases were for the most part false. The book points out the fact that people fear what they do not understand, and ECT is much misunderstood.

I recomend this book to anyone who's physician has suggested ECT as the best treatment available. One need not live with crippling depression, nor live with a baseless fear of an effective treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interested 26 July 2002
By jim - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Spiral-bound
Its amazing to me how people critque illnesses they have no idea about. Ect is a last hope procedure. It is a rough procedure but would u rather kill yourself or have this done to you. I think the ladder would be the ideal option. Depression is a disease , just like cancer just like aids, until people can distinquish this fact, depression and ect will be stigmatized by morons such as this reviewers are here. I had depression for 6 yrs and nothing has help except ECT , i strongly recommend it this book and the procedure. And clueless people that say ECT is bad ECT is horrible, it is nothing compared to the horrors of depression and living on this crappy planet. So to the ones that say ect is destroying your mind, your mind is already destroyed by depression. Ect is hope and the nay sayers just so there ignorance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Handbook 7 April 2001

Book is fine. Useful. It is ashame that folks with strong false beliefs badmouth the book and ECT. They are wrong. If my choice was for ECT or for taking a bunch of pills day after day I would go for ECT. James Staudenmeier, MD, MPH (Health Services Administration)
