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"
Product Description
This handbook is a reference for experienced practitioners and a guidebook to residents who are learning ECT procedure. The authors provide an overview of all aspects of ECT delivery, including patient selection, treatment techniques, and patient aftercare, and describe the most recent technical advances. Developed as a complement to the "APA Task Force Report on the Practice of Electroconvulsive Therapy" the handbook should enable clinicians to perform ECT according to the Task Force's standards and help them make informed referrals to ECT practitioners.
