Max Fink`s American text book on ECT has been reissued.

In 1999 the text for patients and their families ELECTROSHOCK: Restoring the Mind was published as an introduction for patients and their families. It was reissued in 2002 in paperback as the hard back was sold out. 
Considering the many changes in ECT in the past few years — expansion of indications to pediatric populations, catatonia, reports from two NIMH supported collaborative studies of continuation ECT and comparison of electrode placements, discussions of ethics in ECT, and the interest in brain stimulation methods, a new edition has just been published by Oxford University Press.  
This edition is written for patients, their families, students and clinicians.  It is a simplified text for ECT training courses.
