Time to Abandon Electroconvulsion as a Treatment in Modern Psychiatry
added: Saturday, December 2, 2000

An article from the British journal Advances In Therapy: Time to Abandon Electroconvulsion as a Treatment in Modern Psychiatry. "We suggest that ECT is an unscientific treatment and a symbol of authority of the old psychiatry. ECT is not necessary as a treatment modality in the modern practice of psychiatry."

Industry pushes for higher power
added: Friday, December 1, 2000

A frightening movement is underway, and you can help! The ECT industry is putting pressure on the FDA to relax restrictions concerning ECT devices in the US. Leading the charge is none other than the man who stands to financially gain the most from all of this, Richard Abrams. Read his article that challenges the FDA to ignore federal law and simply do what he says. And then use the easy letter generator and send an email to the FDA asking that they NOT bend the law, and not give in to the industry's request, until these devices are TESTED in controlled, legitimate studies.

Shocked! TV
added: Friday, December 1, 2000

Lots to watch at Shocked! TV. News shows, talk shows, radio shows - all the multimedia concerning ECT and the issues.
You'll hear personal stories of people who have had ECT (good and bad), as well as various doctors talk about the subject. And, the famous "Caught on tape" of Dr. Charles Kellner telling a few fibs. Listen to Max Fink talk about the power of psychiatry....and much, much more!
