I have known Connie for about four years, since his association with Dick Abrams in your department in their research in ECT. My relationship has been chiefly as an editor -- in reviewing Connie's submissions to CONVULSIVE THERAPY, and to other psychiatric journals; and in his responses to my requests for reviews of the work of others. i have observed his presentation of papers at national meetings, and have read many of his papers. in addition, when he and Dick sought to develop a better ECT device, I was consulted and carried out some early assessments of the THYMATRON. When i wished to make a videotape to inform patients and their families about ECT for consent purposes, both he and Dick were helpful in developing the concept and the final tape. Finally, Connie sent me a copy of his _<_:_._y_., and I have read it. Connie is clearly one of the best trained, intelligent, and innovative researchers in ECT today. As a graduate of the University of Iowa training programs, he has all the hallmarks of a hard-headed scientist, with a keen reliance on data. He has shown the ability to combine his mathematical and engineering skills with those of the physician, and has contributed to our understanding of the ECT process, to neuroendocrine tests, and to lithium. therapy as well. His studies of prolactin release and the formulation of a mathematical model to estimate the amount released under different interventions provides the best estimate of central responses to seizures. Indeed, the demonstration that the amount of prolactin released by seizures is influenced by electrode placement, current type, and current dose provides an excellent index of the strength of the stimulus in ECT which should be useful in further studies of the ECT process. His recent suggestion for a better way to monitor lithium therapy is innovative and promises to be useful. The application of his models to the TRH test seems also to be a useful advance. He has an unusual breadth of interest; his studies go beyond ECT, statistics and mathematical encompassing models, pharmacokinetics, neuroendocrine tests, and alcoholism. Connie has achieved an unusual national reputation for independent research with a firm mathematical and statistical base. �Conrad Swartz, M.D., PM). Page 2 He lectures and writes well although his style is intelligent investigator. and rather prolix. He is highly innovative, and is clearly a self-starter and independent It is a pleasure to recommend Connie's promotion to full Professor. 1 am confident that he will continue to be productive and innovative and am always delighted to see one of his manuscripts or reports.

First. we no longer speak of shock therapy -- that phrase actually refers to 'insulin shock therapy' .- a treatment that no longer is used in the Western world. instead, we speak of ‘convulsive therapy' or the specific, ‘eiectroconvulsive therapy'. ' We have Cooperated with TV reporters on this same subject, and indeed, produced a set of videotapes for students and for patients and their families, in which we presented views of patients, before and after their treatment, as well as a treatment session. It should be possible to do so again. am of the opinion that the best presentation is not made of patients after treatment, nor of patients before treatment, nor of different patients at different stages of the treatment; rather, the same patients should be presented while ill, and after the course of therapy. Such a presentation would require your interviewer and camera crew to come to the University on at least two occasions, about four to six weeks apart. From this experience, I four to six patients any morning, so that it should be possible to present two or three patients before treatment at one visit; and the same patients some weeks later. We ordinarily treat The American Psychiatric Association meetings will be held in Chicago from May 7 to 15, and i shall be away much of that trime. Again, 1 shall be away the last week in June.

The symptom of fatigue and obsessive compulsive symptoms, in the absence of physical justification as in recurrent hypoglycemia or a muscle wasting disorder, may reflect persistent depression. The descriptions of prior courses oi ECT andthe cinguiotomy are too scanty to determine their adequacy or their effects.

Appointment can be made with my secretary at 516-14“ 2929. Or, you may consider consultation with my former co-worker Dr. Donald F. Klein at the Psychiatric Institute.

At the time, we were studying the relations between seizure duration and outcome. Ken was particularly remonsive to our needs for Controlled anesthesia. Later, when i decided to edit the journal Convulsive Therapy, I raised questions with him, which he answered with good documentation. One response led to the report "Can patients safely undergo electroconvulsive therapy while receiving monoamine oxidase inhibitors?", which 1 published in 1985.

His presentation was authoritative and stimulating; the students loved it. His success led us to invite him to present again in May this year in Chicago. Since he took over the chair at the Nassau County Medical Center, we have met occasionally, to discuss our common interests. He has maintained his interest and enthusiasm for this special application of modern anesthesia. Ken is a most engaging, enthusiastic, responsible, and competent physician. He is an excellent student and teacher. He aroused in his residents (and in mine) an interest in anesthesia, and encouraged their understanding of the physiology of the processes. His administrative skills are excellent, and are reflected in his being selected to take over the arduous position at NCMC. I am pleased to recommend his promotion, and do so with enthusiasm.

Director, Mental Health Nursing Waukesha Memorial Hospital 725 American Avenue Waukesha, Wisconsin 53186 Dear Ms. Balies, You are, of course, free to use the model consent form form my book, and to modify it as you may need. i am pleased that it may serve a useful purpose. The issue of consent in psychiatric therapies remains complex; it was a central issue at the 1985 NIH sponored ConsenSus Conference on Electroconvuisive Therapy. that the patient and the family have been given sufficient information about the ECT process, which remains a surgical type procedure in psychiatry? One answer is the diligence of the psychiatric staff in How is one to assure explaining the procedures, and in the training and experience of the therapists. But since guidelines for therapists are not established, nor for consent procedures, we have come up with another solution, that of an informational videotape. 0n the invitation of Somatics Inc., producers of the THYMATRON, l participated in making two videotapes, one for patients and their families and the second for therapists. These may be of interest to you and your associates and I have asked Somatics to send you a description.

Apt SE 515 West 110 Street New York City 10025 Dear Michael, The enclosed report is quite good. A larger sample, or more observations per patient would have provided definitive data for the profession. As it is, the report supports the continued use of atropine for ECT in the patients with clear evidence of cardiovascular disease. 1. If you wish to have the article considered by CONVULSIVE THERAPY, then the citation style should be that of Raven Press. A copy of the guidelines to authors is enclosed. In general, we have found that the citation style we use is best in the preparation of a manuscript. As you have already discovered, the numeric style is difficult to alter by addition or subtraction of a citation; and it is difficult to find citations, especially in articles with long citation lists. 2. Pg 4: Note the discrepancy in your use of 0.8 mg atropine and the stated recommendation of the APA of 0.1+ mg. Explain or leave the APA guide out. 3. Pg 7: The section on the criteria for cardiac arrhythmia is a bit muddled. If your article is intended for a psychiatric audience, this paragraph needs clarification. Pg. 9: Tl-iis section is quite muddled. Read it to a non-physician, and if it can be clearly understood, then you have hit the right level of complexity. 1+. 5. Pg 10: Same as 4 above. 6. Page ll: All of this paragraph can be safely forgotten, as can most of the next. 7. The alternate anticholinergic treatment is glycopyrrolate; there is a literature for this use, and it should be included in your discussion. See reference list. Since your findings seem to differ for the two medically identified groups of patients, cardiovascular disease and none, why not present your data in this framework? Also, if you can arrive at a recommendation for the usage of atropine, you should do so, clearly. Thank you for the opportunity to read this report.

Lately, i was asked by the physicians at Hottmann La Roche Laboratories to consult on the issues of bioequivalence of generic formulations of diazepam with Valium. it is my understanding that these data led to a request by Hoffmann La Roche to the FDA to consider quantitative pheromone-EEG measures in the development of guidelines for bioequivalency of psychotropic drugs. ’ Will these questions be part of the discussion and presentation meetings?

A search of the International Pharmaceutical Abstracts found one citation to a sulfonamide derivative, and it is unlikely that such a compound has the effects cited by the author. I would be grateful for a clarification. 1 am unaware of any substance that produces the effects cited; nor am Iaware of any interdicted treatment which may do so. The closest is the use of high doses of insulin for a treatment known as insulin coma. Such a treatment was widely used and was replaced by pharmacotherapy. I am not aware of any prohibition or prescription in any Western country, nor am i aware of any instance of 'many hours of unbearable pain' in this i treatment. Is it possible that the author is exercising a high degree of hyperbole? Thank you for any help in this interesting matter. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

Later, we worked together on developing a collaborative ECT study for NlMH, and more recently, he has been helpful in the development of the new journal, CONVULSIVE THERAPY. I am well acquainted with his research projects and writings; have attended many of his presentations; and have had the benefit of his advice. In the past decade, he has established himself as a major researcher in electroconvulsive therapy. He (and the research group at Columbia University) seek to tease out the relationships between stimulus parameters and electrode location, with efficacy, cognitive, and EEG effects of two current types (brief pulse and sine wave) and two electrode locations (unilateral, bilateral). His work is methodical, detailed, with significant attention to the parameters of the treatment. His training in electrical engineering may have been instrumental in the selection of his research interests and in the type of work that he has done. He has also presented useful case reports, and he has often been invited to summarize the present status of ECT in textbooks and conferences. He has been the chairman of a special task force on electroconvulsive WV «- wr- w— ‘m WWW—”1‘ therapy devices for the American Psychiatric Association. He has attended and participated in almost every major ECT conference in the past few years. Rich is a careful, methodical, rigorous worker. He speaks slowly and deliberately, and he is always 'thoughful. His research publications are well documented, and they are accepted as standards in the field. it is a pleasure to recommend him for tenure. My best regards.

I am still of the same opinion: "Your letter to the APA was forwarded to me for comment. You are quite right that there has been an active anti-ECT lobby in this country, best exemplified by the media atention to Peter Breggin and the repeated showing of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and other anti-psychiatry films; by the legal issues in California and Vermont; and by the willingness of many psychiatric leaders to argue that ‘after all, we all know that ECT is abused'. It is not clear what can be done in one instance such as yours, other than by the usual legal maneuvers. To that end, the legal firm that is defending your malpractice actions should be acquainted with those of us in the APA who have served as consultants in defending the actions of our members. Your lawyers should be given the names of the following knowledgeable consultants: Richard Abrams, Chicago Medical School, North Chicago, IL Gary Aden, San Diego, CA Fred Frankel, Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, MA Sidney Malitz, Columbia University, New York, NY Trevor Price, University of Pennsylvania, PA Iver Small, University of Indiana, Indianapolis, IN Richard Weiner, Duke University, Durham, NC "These men are active fellows of the APA and have ably defended legal issues on behalf of other members with difficulties similar to your own. - <y—wxvv—wrv-o s—urvw-wxaq-v-u "As you already have discovered, the APA lacks a central agency to help our members with ECT problems, despite the fact that the Task Force in 1978recommended a continuing committee to attend to such matters. You wish to write a letter reminding the present president, Dr. Nadelson and may the medical director, Melvin Sabshin, of this deficiency." Sincerely yours, ”who-w w w'w'v u w- r ,. -wnr. -.- WM.

Pettinati to the rank of Adjunct Associate Professor at the Rutgers Medical School. I have known Helen for a few years, first becoming acquainted with her studies of ECT when she reported assessments of the differential effects of electrode location on the efficacy and side-effects of ECT, and the lack of effect of dexamethasone on ECT induced cognitive impairment. I Her work has been excellent. She has carried out careful and well designed parametric studies. The reports reflect meticulous attention to case selection, treatment, and statistical assessment. [liked her work sufficiently, that when l was inviting scientists as associate editors of the new journal, CONVULSIVE THERAPY, I invited her and am pleased that she has joined the Board. She is an excellent reviewer, and recently she organized and reported an assessment of the characteristics of two new ECT instruments (CONVULSIVE THERAPY _2_: #3-54, 1986). I think the evaluation is fair and very useful. She also has reported an interesting meta-analysis of the studies of unilateral and bilateral ECT. She is a delightful person, and apparently well liked by her co—workers. She lectures well. It is a pleasure to recommend her promotion. My regards.

If the story represents your views, then I support the questions which you raise with the FDA. Our interest is not with regard to the bioequivalence of generics for thioridazine, but a similar question regarding diazepam. Last year, my former co-worker Turan Itil assessed the CNS patterns of and some generic formulations of diazepam, finding differences in quantitative EEG measures. I was asked by physicians at Hoffmann-La Roche to review his data. I was impressed that his findings were probably real. They require replication, of course. When the petition was made to the FDA for an elaboration of the regulations, to include the requirement that similar studies be done for generics to demonstrate CNS bioequivalence, the FDA answers given were, as you noted, vague and indefinite; the petition was denied; and manufacturers of generic formulations of diazepam were licensed to market their products. Valium Since Itil's methods are very advanced, we have decided to tool up to replicate his studies. Our interest is not in the legal issues or in the methodology, but in applying his methods to other problems. Nevertheless, I am upset that the FDA gave so little credence to these data. I recently published a summary of my EEG experiences with different formulations of psychoactive compounds (Integrative Psychiatry 2(Supplement): 125-195, 1985). In it I note some clinical experiences, similar to those reported by others, which could have resulted from variations in dosage, perhaps occasioned by differences in formulations. I encourage your efforts in getting the FDA to provide meaningful guidelines and recording requirements for generic formulations of psychoactive substances. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Washington, D.C. 20037 Dear Mr. Roccograndi, Dr. Robert Millman sent me a 'copy of your letter of March 21 regarding the petition to the FDA on bioequivalence. i had written to Dr. Miliman of my interest in this topic and my concerns that the acceptance of bioequivalence for psychoactive substances on the basis of in vitro tests was inadequate since their penetration of the blood brain barrier was an important characteristic of their actions. My opinion is based on numerous studies of the CNS effects of psychoactive substances as reflected in quantitative EEG measures. 7 should like to encourage the petition to the FDA to review the requirements for demonstrating bioequivalence of psychoactive drugs. My experience was cited by the Hottmann La Roche petition to the FDA for a review of bioequivalency standards with specific regard to diazepam (Valium). The work was cited in support of the data developed by Professor [til of the New York Medical College. 1 enclose a copy of my letter to Bob Millman, as well as a recent report in which 1 reviewed my expereinces with this problem.

I will try to get the chapter to you before the stated deadline of July 25, 1986. l have examined my earlier chapter, and lbelieve that i can rewrite it with new data and updates on the literature, in a fashion that should satisfy the managers of both volumes. Would it not be useful to present some of the evidence for the use of EC!” at the Washington APA session as well? The evidence for the efficacy of ECT is as compelling (or more so) than the evidence for the other maneuvers cited in the program. I have to be at another session at the same time, where I am the discussant, but could probably make an appearance at your session for a stated time; or, send one of my associates (Dr. Lawrence Greenberg) with an appropriate short presentation. From the list of presentations, a comment after Preskorn's report, citing the most recent report by Glassman, would seem to be appropriate. Let me know if this is feasible. «Wu-vy— My regards.

Boston, The NIH sponsored Consensus Conference on Electrconvulsive Therapy concluded that while the treatment was controversial, its continued use and study was indicated. The panel recommended further research, particularly a survey of the practice of ECT in this country, both as a follow-up of the 1976 survey of the American Psychiatric Association and with the techniques which were so successful in the 1980 British survey by Pippard and Eliam. They also recommended special attention and study of ECT in patients with schizophrenia and mania. I am writing to enquire whether any office or officer of the National Institute of Mental Health is following-up on these recommendations. is the institute preparing any proposal for a survey? Or, any specific efforts at research into the mechanism of action? Convuisive therapy will remain controversial so long as our information as its to usage and mode of action remain scanty. Your encouragement of research, both within the intramural and extramural research programs, is sorely needed. Separately, I have written to Dr. Regier as you suggested. My best regards.

President, American Psychopathological Association Harborview Medical Center 325 9th Avenue Seattle, Washington 9810!; Dear Dave, Congratulations on your new office at the APPA! The meetings in New York last month were quite good, and I learned much, and enjoyed meeting our friends from the Midwest and the West. I look forward to the 1987 meetings as well. One issue prompts this letter, and it is to suggest that subscription to the journal be part of each member‘s participation and included in the annual dues. COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHIATRY was founded by. Fritz Freyhan, and in its early days, it was clearly a preferred vehicle for novel contributions by members of the Association. It became the official organ of the Association, and sought to publish information about the members and the programs. It was also the practice, beginning under the leadership of Paul Hoch and Joe Zubin, to publish the proceedings as an annual monograph. On a number of occasions, the Council considered subscription to the annual volumes, as well as to the journal, as part of the annual dues and membership. But such costs would not be bourne by the members, especially since the annual volumes were priced at varying levels by the different publishers. It seems to me that subscription to the journal usually failed of support because of the junction of the two issues. Perhaps it is time to again address the journal subscription as a membership feature of the annual dues, separate from other issues. No scientific journal is able to survive on advertising alone, and it must depend on its readers for support. If we wish to continue to support COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHIATRY as a vehicle of the APPA, perhaps the membership should be polled as to its willingness to subscribe, probably at a preferred rate, as part of the annual dues?

After a literature survey, in which 1 found no examples to justify an association, 1 re-read the PDR package insert, to find that there are assertions of risk. in some texts, risks are described for the class of compounds, usually including iproniazid as well as phenelzine and tranylcypromine. i did find many reports of toxicity to iproniazid, and I wonder if the package insert description is not a spillover, 'guiit by association', from the chemical similarity of the two compounds? I would like to pose a question to your experts for the Journal: What is the degree of risk of hepatotoxicity for depressed patients receiving phenelzine therapy? Is the risk sufficient to require that we modify the written advice (as to diet and risks) we regularly give our patients before we institute this therapy? Thanks for your help. My best regards.

I would be interested in hearing what you learned your about the origins of ECT. Regretfully, in answer to your request, I did not get reprints of the editorial, so send you a xerox copy in its stead. I was impressed with the efforts which went into the report and overall, see it (and the Consensus Conference) as public reviews which, when done fairly, are useful in supporting our present usage. The material for the final number of CONVULSIVE THERAPY for this year was sent to the publisher on Saturday; and we already have some fine articles for the first numbers of next year. ‘ You may be interested in an argument against ECT just published by the Irish curmudgeon Peter Skrabanek in the Irish Medical Journal (79:157-165, 1986). He has wit and a talent in writing which may make him a more formidable opponent to ECT than Breggin or Friedberg. My regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, M. D.

Taylor, whom [have known for almost two decades, and who is being considered for the chairmanship of your Mental Health Sciences Department. I first met Mickey when he was a resident at New York Medical College. Among a group of outstanding students, he was already an independent thinker and careful worker. He designed and carried out research for which he was awarded the prestigious A.E.Bennett award of the Sosiety of Biological Psychiatry. After a tour in the U.S. Navy, where he also published important clinical research studies, he returned to join our faculty at Stony Brook. He took over a standard state hospital ward and within a year, it was an outstanding study and research unit. He was rapidly promoted to Associate Professor and then was invited to Chicago, where he became Professor and Chairman. MWWWWl-uwul. in research, Mickey is an outstanding clinician and phenomenologist. He and his associate, Richard Abrams have led a re-assessment of the genetic and familial contributions to clinical phenomenology; the classification of schizophrenia and catatonia; and the neuropsychoiogical consequences of subtle brain damage, both generalized and localized. Their independent thinking and databased studies are outstanding. in teaching, his texts are excellent. Both his Neuropsvchiatric Mental Status Examination and General Hospital Pgghiatgy are innovative and important texts, widely used in teaching psychiatric residents. He is an oustanding lecturer. As for his administrative abilities, these are also excellent. i watched the Wyw—w-w. development of the teaching unit at the Central lslip Psychiatric Center. 1 have visited the units in Chicago. And, lam amazed by the continued productivity of his students and associates. can think of few psychiatrists in the U.S. who match Mickey's talents as a clinician, researcher, and teacher, and i recommend him heartily for the chairmanship. it will be a pleasure to have him closer to New York. i .

When I left Hillside Hospital in 1962, Donald Klein assumed responsibility for the Department of Research and appointed Fred in 1966 as associate, and in 1968, as Director of EEG at the hospital. 1 Fred was trained by Fred and Erna Gibbs in Chicago. and developed skills and interest in EEG topography in relation to behavior. in numerous studies, he sought to relate EEG patterns to emotional disorders, and his work on the BMitten, ill and fl, and dysrhythmia patterns to suicide ideation, tardive dyskinesia, and schizophrenia are among the most secure in our field. He has an established track record with NIH grant committees, and an extensive publication history. it 1977, he was appointed Associate Professor in this Department at Stony Brook, and in 1983, he became Professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School. am pleased to heartily support his application for appointment as Professor at LSU; he is a capable and innovative researcher, and an established teacher.

For his fellowship in geriatrics, Barry consulted me with regard to the collection and analysis of the data of the ECT treated cases. h our association, I found him knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He is well read and has a historical and political perspective on the treatments of the elderly. His experience in treating patients in the medical/surgical unit has given him a unique will and the assurance to manage these difficult cases well. i am unable to assess his teaching skills, as Ihave not had an opportunity to observe him in a lecture or conference situation.

Such requests are fairly frequent, and my experience with TV and other media reporters has been uniformly unfavorable; too many reporters approached treatment for its sensationalism and in a desire to present a balanced' view of a 'controversial' topic, shaded their questions so as to be unfavorable to an effective treatment. i suggested that Rick read some articles first and call me back if he was still interested. short while later, he called again and asked questions in a knowledgeable and friendly manner, ensuring my interest and support. He developed a program, agreeing to come to New York to film an interview with me and the treatment of patients. When the report was produced, he sent me a copy. I was surprised by the quality of the tape, the balance in the interviews, and the excellence of the presentation. Some months later, he called to say that a segment of the tape was accepted by the MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour. That viewing was national, and soon thereafter, i understand that the videotape was given a national award for A excellence. u.— v,—u-...—~wv»...._.

Iworked with Paul during the past few years while he was an attending psychiatrist on the in—patient service at University Hospital. I He is a well trained and experienced psychiatrist. His evaluations of patients and recommendations for treatment were excellent. He is well able to identify patients in need of electroconvulsive therapy. On a number of occasions, when lwas absent from the University, he took over the ECT unit and treated the roster of patients with skill and without mishap. i believe that he is capable of treating in-patients with all the disciplines that we have available, and heartily recommend him for such privileges.

Taylor, whom i have known for almost two decades. 1 first met Mickey when he was a resident at New York Medical College. Among a group of outstanding students, he was already an independent thinker and careful worker. He designed and carried out research for which he was awarded the prestigious A.E.Bennett award of the Sosiety of Biological Psychiatry. After a tour in the 0.5. Navy, where he also published important clinical research studies, he returned to join our faculty at Stony Brook. He took over a standard state hospital ward and within a year, it was an outstanding study and research unit. He was rapidly promoted to Associate Professor and then was invited to Chicago, where he became Professor and Chairman. h research, he is an outstanding clinician and phenomenologist. He and his associate, Richard Abrams have led a reassessment of the genetic and familial contributions to clinical phenomenology; the classification of schizophrenia and catatonia; and the neuropsychological consequences of subtle brain damage, both generalized and iocalized. Their independent thinking and data-based studies are outstanding. in teaching, his texts are excellent. Both his Neurgpgychiatric Mental Status Examination and General figspital Psychiafl are innovative and important texts, widely used in teaching psychiatric residents. He is an oustandlng lecturer. As for his administrative abilities, these are also excellent. i watched the of the development teaching unit at the Central Islip Psychiatric Center. 1 have visited the units in Chicago. And, lam amazed by the continued productivity of his students and associates. lean think of few psychiatrists in the [1.5. who match Mickey's talents as a clinician, researcher, and teacher, and i recommend him heartin for fellowship.

I very much enjoyed reading the article on meningioma, as this remains an active topic of research and argument. Mark Altschule‘s recall of the milieu vs shock therapy controversy hinges on an assumption that he makes that modern 'shock therapy' has as poor a clinical efficacy as the swing therapies of old. He is probably correct in his estimate of insulin coma, but incorrect in the modern use of convuslive therapy. With the introduction of psychotropic drugs, it was pomible to develop a strategy of treating the severe mentally ill with the most effective intervention for their syndrome —and, as you well know, the efficacy of ECT in patients with sevre depressions and catatonia remains unmatched by all other therapies, including milieu and psychotherapy. - wvr-zuu—w» continue to look for old articles and books from the inception of the 'modern' shock therapy era, and I will be grateful for any other books or articles you may find in your archives or shelves.

We do not use the Searcher; the Manager is the main operating system for data entry and retrieval; and the Editor h the special program for extracting citations in styles for different journals. The Manager is the main program, and I enclose a description of it; as well as an article about the Editor. My files are divided into blocks of 1000 citations each. I searched the most recent files for WEINER and part of the output is enclosed so that you can see the style of the records. The main advantage of SCIMATE is that one need not identify descriptor terms; all terms in any record may be the basis for a search since the strategy is a string search throughout all the records; no thesaurus is created. If you or one of your amelates wish to visit, we would be pleased to demonstrate our system, and make copies of the files for your use. The SCIMATE hotiine number is 800 523 4092. My regards.

November 10, 1988 Donald F.

The emphasB on psychopharmaeology is well defined, but it is not clear, from the limited material sent me, what the attitude of members of the Foundation toward ECT may be. I If, in addition to fund-raising for research, the aim is to educate the families and patients as to all available therapies, perhaps attention shouiqnbe paid to the role of 801‘. All too often, referrals to our center initially refuse ECT when it is deemed useful, usually because their physicians or families are antagonistic. Good luck in this educational effort.

Box 38 Glen Oaks, New York 11004 Dear John, Enclosed are the two reports of our studies of clozapine, both published in 1979. I was not satisfied that we had done an adequate analysis of clozapine's EEG profile. I considered it an important study; first, because the compound was being reported as successful as an antipsychotic, and secondly, because if its antipsychotic activity is proven, and its EEG profile is outside that of established antipsychotic substances, it would deserve a place as a unique prototypic substance in EEG classification schemata, the head of a new class. Gil Honigfeld was unable to accommodate my furtha' studies, but they should still be done. I also enclose a copy of Morihisa's review of the EEG data in schizophrenic patients. The review ignores most of the earlier BEG material, but it reflects the more recent studies well. My regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MJ).

Lefkowits, M.D. to the rank of Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry. first met Hank during his residency at Hillside Hospital. He was an enthusiastic student, who participated actively in our clinical research. projects. He was interested in studies of staff attitudes toward the somatic therapies, particularly to the introduction of psychoactive drugs and the continued use of insulin coma. He was an assessor in our insulin comaochlorpromazine random assignment study (which sounded the death knell of insulin coma), and a principal investigator of our studies of flurothyl (helping us define the efficacy and safety of this chemical induction of seizures). 1 . After cornpleting his training at Hillside, he went into private practice in Westchester County where he developed a good following. He continued his clinical teaching. From time to time, he has asked my advice in the management of patients and my recollection is that the patients had been treated well. The records were uniformly excellent. He is thoughtful, sincere, honest, dedicated, and responsible. He is a fine clinician, with excellent skills in diagnosis and treatment. He has a modest research record, and a good teaching record. it would be a pleasure to endorse his promotion at this University, and i am delighted to recommend his promotion at Cornell, as well deserved.

After you left, 1 completed the review of the meeting, and sent it on to the publisher. Vol I No. l is now complete. Thank you for your help. I enclose a draft for your information. Thank you also for the updated copy of SCHIZOPHRENIA. It remains a valuable contribution to our limited knowledge about this dread disorder. In reading the section on treatment, I am disappointed with the short shrift given ECT. The young man you met on my service, Mr. White, clearly suffers from this disorder. The remarkable change in his behavior was not achieved with any drug combination, and when ECT was proposed, as a 'last-ditch effort', his family demurred for more than two months. Now they are delighted, and even if the improvement is transient, and allows him to be home for only a few weeks, it still remains a miracle to them. I have taken the liberty of writing to your publisher. My best regards, and my thanks for your help in CONVULSIVE THERAPY.

I have used this report, on occasion, to help families with their decision-making. Sid Malitz organized a fine 3—day meeting on ECT in New York City last week. The discussions were lively, and even representatives of the angry public were given a chance to ventilate. This meeting, and the forthcoming consensus conference organized by NIH, indicate that ECT, unfortunately, remains alive in America. I say 'unfortunately', because its very existence after 51 years reflects our lack of progress in developing better treatments for major depressions. When last we met, you said that you were making a film of your ECT (and insulin '2) experiences. When the weather is better, perhaps we should view it together ? The papers for the first issue of CONVULSIVE THERAPY are at the publishers, and it should appear in March. I held a meeting of the Board of Editors and they seemed quite enthusiastic. My best regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, M.D. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

D. Department of Community Health University of Dublin 196 Pearse Street Dublin 2, Ireland Dear Dr. Skrabanek, It was kind of you to send me a reprint of your arguments on the biochemistry of schizophrenia. As before, I enjoyed your review. I have little faith in the present biochemical or animal models of mental disorders, but they seem necessary steps in our learning. Both Horrobin and Ackernecht reflected my appreciation of the problems. I had already cut out your note in Lancet on "Holy Dread" which found delightful. I also you will see from the letterhead, I have succumbed to temptation and the invitation of the publisher of Raven Press, Alan Edelson, to edit a accepted journal CONVULSIVE THERAPY, which is a quarterly, with the first issue to appear in March. While most of the space will be dedicated to refereed research reports, there is room for innovation. ECT has just passed its 5lst birthday, and its very persistence is a challenge to our understanding. For almost three decades, research interest lagged, but lately there has been a re-awakening. In 1978, Timothy Crow challenged the belief that a seizure was necessary to the outcome and thereby launched six or more studies in Britain. While most observers now accept that either the seizure or something accompanying the seizure is necessary for maximal antidepressant effects, Tim still believes that good nursing care will do as well. There are other beliefs which are as contested, not the least of which is the range of theories of the antidepressant efficacy of ECT. The two principal (‘serious') theories are those of Grahame-Smith, Costain, Green, and Modigh on the neurohumoral theory; and Ottosson and myself on the neuroendocrine. As. I do not know how much experience you have with the ECT process, nor whether it is a feature of your University landscape. But should you wish to tackle the ECT beliefs, consider a contribution to this new journal. My best regards.

Reiser, M.D. Department of Psychiatry Yale University School of Medicine 25 Park Street New Haven, CT 06519 Dear Mort, I am pleased to write this letter strongly endorsing the promotion of DENNIS CHARNEY, Md). to the rank of Associate Professor of Psychiatry. I have known of his work since his important reports with Nelson on delusional depression. As I hold an IND for research studies with mianserin, I have also cooperated with him in making the substance available to him, and in providing the FDA backup for his studies. And, I have come to know him from his presentations at the APA and ACNP. His studies of delusional depression have been useful in defining the characteristics of patients (with delusions) who do not respond as anticipated to tricyclic drugs, and for whom other treatments are required. His subsequent work with clonidlne, yohimbine, mianserin, haltrexone, and most recently, the trials of lithium and antidepressants in the treatment of refractory depressions are innovative, thoughtful, and logically derived from monoaminergic theories of antidepressant drug actions. His studies are well designed, and on the occasions when I have had the opportunity to review them prior to publication, have had no difficulty in recommending their publication. Dennis is clearly one of the outstanding students of depressive disorders, with a keen grasp of modern theories and research design. My only regret is that he has not (as yet) shown an interest in convulsive therapy, for I am confident that he would make important contributions to ow understanding of that therapy which remains the most effective treatment of delusional depression.

Hanover, New Jersey Dear Peter, I read the article by Glassman st 31. and react much as you did. There is as much evidence that drowsiness was the active component in the effects on craving as that a specific biochemical process was responsible. But it seems difficult to attack the conclusions based on these data alone. I seem to recall that our subjects, given clonidine, also had a significant degree of drowsiness, as did our subjects when given higher doses of diazepam and bromazepam. Also, the time course of our experience would be applicable. In order to do justice to a critique of this report, I think we would have to extract some of our own data, see if they are relevant, and make a more compelling case than your argument. The dependence on the PDR does not have much cachet; indeed, it is not considered a relable source of scientific information, being seen as a negotiated average of sentiments between legal partisans from industry and less-than-competent administrative bureaucrats. Such an argument may have place in the board-rooms of industry or the law courts, but hardly in SCIENCE. am so busy with convulsive therapy, that Glassman's peccadillos and the pseudo-science of SCIENCE influence me little. I The historical paper which I wrote for IPEG in memory of Bente has been published. I enclose a copy for your bulletin-board. The IBM 1800 is acting up again, and i am getting desparate to end it all, either by decapitating the machine and chucking all the work, or by replacing it with the H21 IBM-AT based system. I am visiting HZI next week to see if there is some fire where there has been nil-smoke for so long. Meanwhile, Itil has convinced Hoffmann-La Roche that he can distinguish three formulations of Valium; they have petitioned the FDA to change the among rules on generics and look-alikes by requiring pharmacodynamic equivalence as well as pharmacokinetic and chemical dissolution equivalence. The petition went in two weeks ago; you can read all about it in the pink sheets. if the FDA is convinced and changes the regulations, industry will need our pharmaco-EEG studies as much as they needed the sleep-EEG studies when the FDA accepted such studies as evidence of soporific activity. If the FDA acts favorably, I will get my new AT system; and you could go into business for yourself with little investment. Keep the faith. My best regards.

Miller, MD. 515 W. 110 Street New York City 10025 Dear Michael, I have discussed your letter of May 1 with Dr. Henn, the Department Chairman. We are pleased that you are interested in working with us after your residency is complete in June, 1986. As I discussed during your visit, it is difficult to make a definite committment so long in advance, but we will be able to do so in October. We will ask that you visit us, and meet the relevant members of the faculty early in October, when we will be able to discuss the assignments and openings for July, 1986. We will orange that you meet Dr. G. Fricchione (C at L), Tom Craig (CPD), and Dr. Henn at that time. Arthur Gabriel gave a good overview of the medical aspects of ECT at the sessions held a few weeks ago at the Carrier Clinic. He must be impressed teaching with your data as he quoted the findings as encouraging him to now use atmpine in his treatments. How is the paper coming? Went. You should have a good experience at Columbia. Let me know My best regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

June 3, u. a .m .w—V 19 85 Howard W, Fisher, MD. 10 Sandcastle Court Pueblo, CO 81001 Dear Dr. Fisher, Your letter to the APA was forwarded to me for comment. You are quite right that there has been an active anti-ECT lobby in this country, best exemplified by the media atention to Peter Breggin and the repeated showing of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and other anti-psychiatry films; by the legal issues in California and Vermont; and by the willingness of many psychiatric leaders to argue that 'after all, we all know that ECT is abused'. It is not clear what can be done in one instance such as yours, other than by the usual legal maneuvers. To that end, the legal firm that is defending your malpractice actions should be acquainted with those of us in the APA who have served as consultants in defending the actions of our members. Your lawyers should be given the names of the following knowledgeable consultants: Richard Abrams, Chicago Medical School, North Chicago, IL Gary Aden, San Diego, CA Fred Frankel, Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, MA Sidney Malitz, Columbia University, New York, NY Trevor Price, University of Pennsylvania, PA Iver Small, University of Indiana, Indianapolis, IN Richard Weiner, Duke University, Durham, NC These men are active fellows of the APA and have ably defended legal issues on behalf of other members with difficulties similar to your own. As you already have discovered, the APA lacks a central agency to help members with ECT problems, despite the fact that the Task Force in I978 our recommended a continuing committee to attend to such matters. You may wish to write a letter reminding the present president, Dr. Nadelson and the medical director, Melvin Sabshin, of this deficiency. Finally, there will be an NIH supported Consensus Conference on ECT in Bethesda June 10-12. There is some hope that the conference will conclude with a supporting document, similar to the APA Task Force report of I978. You may wish to attend these sessions, as they are open to the public, and they may encourage you not to despair. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

VV‘qnt'V‘V-n' June ‘1, 1985 Alfred Bertagnoll, M.D. Catholic Medical Center 100 McGregor Street Manchester, NH 03102 Dear Dr. Bertagnoll, Dr. T. Meehan was a staff psychiatrist at the V.A. Hospital in Northport a few years ago. During that time, ECT was administered at the V.A. under the general supervision of consultants from the Department of Psychiatry of SUNY at Stony Brook. Before Dr. Meehan joined the staff, my associate Dr. Richard Abrams had set up the unit, and after he left, I supervised it. During Dr. Meehan's service at the V.A., he carried out treatments in this and was considered sufficiently adept that he continued to treat patients for a unit, I time. cannot recall a time when I observed his treatments. To the best of my recollection, Dr. Meehan did not have any formal in training convulsive therapy at this University. The 'training' was passed on from one therapist to the next. Nor can I recall the length of time that he 'ran' the ECT unit, since such assignment was the responsibility of the clinical director, Dr. Robert Derman. As you well know, there is no formal accrediting process for ECT in the United States. It was a recommendation of the American Psychiatric Association Task Force that a continuing committee on ECT be established at the APA, to develop guidelines for training; but the leaders of the APA have seen fit not to create such a committee since the report was accepted in 1978. in this climate, judgement as to Dr. Meehan's credentials must be based on your own criteria.

As I have recently written a history of convulsive therapy, and published an autobiography of Ladislas Mcduna, I decided I would present my views of the history. The panel states that "In the 1930's, Manfred Sakel treated schiz0phrenia by producing convulsions by injecting insulin. This in turn was replaced by . . ." The treatment‘s origin was more likely in the work of Ladislas Meduna. Manfred Sake! developed insulin coma therapy, and ardently maintained that the induction of seizures, which occasionally occurred, was a complication to be avoided. He presented his ideas in Vienna in January, 1933. In January, 1934 the Hungarian neuropsychiatrht, Ladblas Meduna introduced camphor injections with the intent of developing seizures, in the belief of a biological antagonism between epilepsy and schimphrenia. These two protagonists met at a meeting of the Swiss Psychiatric Society in Mflnsingen in 1937. They differed in their views as to what was the essence of - each therapy coma and the death of 'sick' brain cells in insulin therapy; and seizures in Metrazol therapy. (In later years, Sakel emigrated to New York, and asserted that seizures in insulin coma may have some beneficial effects.) I enclose a copy of a historical review for your use. A more detailed exposition of the Meduna story is to be found in the first two issues of the new journal, CONVULSIVE THERAPY, in which Meduna's previously unpublished autobiography is published. This biography was written about 1954. Other sources can be found in citation 35 in the enclosed reprint. I very much enjoyed my visit to the museum.

If you are willing to import an overseas scientist, you may wish to write to Dr. Walter Sannita (Laboratory of Neurophysiology, Osp. San Martino, v. ie Benedetto XV, 1-16132 Genoa, Italy). I understand that he has a number of associates, one of whom may be interested in a two year opportunity in the U.S. . Also, the best man from my laboratory in the past decade has been Mr. Peter Irwin (201-386 8683). He is an excellent scientist and understands drug effects, frequency analysis, and EEG very well. A few years ago, he left to work in Sandoz in Basie with Dr. M. Matecjek (who heads the Sandoz quantitative EEG laboratory). After a few years, he wished to return to the U.S., but Sandoz had no EEG laboratory here, so he has been working in clinical pharmacology. if you are truly seeking for 'the right candidate to be the driving force and run the project' you may consider him. His salary may be a problem, as he left us at more than $#0,000/year (and well worth it). Finally, there is a new organization, recently formed in Europe to bring scientists interested in drug effects and EEG together. Meetings are held every two the next will be in Genoa in July, l986. The IPEG - (International years Pharmaco-EEG Group) includes both clinical and animal pharmacologists, and drug effects in animals and man are discussed. You may wish to write to the President of the group, Dr. Johann Kugler (Nussbaumstrasse 7, D-SOOO Munich 2, Germany) for further information. - w ~mv'— Good luck. vw— -.- - WWw-w m mflww- Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

Describing his visits to the United States and other countries of the Western Hemisphere in 1939, Meduna writes: "In New York we met Emerick Friedman, an American psychiatrist of Hungarian parentage, with whom i had been in previous scientific correspondence, and in collaboration with whom i had published a paper. He took us in his car to Boston where' we saw how the Metrazol treatment was given in this country and I recited one of my memorized English speeches of which word." I understood hardly a l have decided to publish this autobiography, probably divided in two issues of the new journal CONVULSIVE THERAPY which I am now editing.

D'Alli for admission to our next medical school class. Despite his unique record, or because of it, I recommend him most highly. He will be an outstanding student, and with his skills in communication and his mastery of the media, he can become a unique asset to our profession. Rick is a friend to my son, a geologist at Arizona State University. At the end of 1983, Rick was commissioned to do a medical series on depressive disorders and their treatment, a commission based on some brouhaha in the community. He asked my advice and after dividing the therapy issues into three major therapies, I agreed to help him with the section on convulsive therapy. I did so with much trepidation, because my experience with other reporters was unfavorable; their desire to emphasize the dramatic, to titillate the readers with anti-medical statements, usually resulted in a hostile report which presented physicians as asses. l deferred my agreement, and suggested that Rick read some articles before calling me back. When he did call, some days later, his questions showed that he had read and understood the material. His questions were non-hostile. We disCussed a script and I recommended some advocates and critics. Suffice it to say, he did his homework so well, that the final report, four sessions of 12 minutes each, was excellent, receiving numerous commendations and repeated showings. It is a fair statement of the medical and social issues in the controversy about convulsive therapy, so fair that we have adopted it as a standard presentation to our patients and their families as part of our consent process for electroconvulsive therapy at University Hospital. (Call Mrs. Irene Carasiti on lON to arrange a viewing.) “may .v "‘ww Since then, I commissioned him to make two training videotapes on ECT, one dedicated to families and a second for students, and these are being completed now. It was during these interactions that Rick shared his interest in a medical career with me. I was puzzled by his desire to change his career, and spent hours in discussion. I am convinced that his career change is occasioned by his acquaintance with medical projects, his ease with physicians and patients, and his desire to dedicate his time to work with patients and to be part of the excitement that he has seen in medicine. �,, v 7 V mm —r‘vm 7— Maw-1‘ 1-: n- wmw-xmm . .v va-Vu’( v..._,_..r_._—.....rm ,wmmfi' ‘wm «am t , / - Richard D'Alli ..,,.V _.. Page 2 Rick is a warm, enthusiastic, friendly human being, with a pleasant laugh and a pleasing sense of humor. He is sincere and thoroughly honest. He has done his work well, and he is reliable. He recently married and his wife is a trained social worker who is most encouraging of his career change. My son, who has known him for more than four years, has told me of many interactions with Rick and Arlene which support my recommendation. _, ”w",— . A At age 38, Rick is older than most candidates. But he has matured well, and he is an outstanding candidate. I have no question regarding his ability to dedicatehimself to the work and to complete the course of studies with better than average grades. 1 have no hesitation in recommending him for admission to our next class, as a candidate who will be a class leader, and who has much to offer our profession, especially as a teacher and communicator. -';-WV~WVWWWWWv Sincerely yours, —r wan, ——v-«v ——m—-,- mu r‘vp “anqu-y war: war ‘7‘ -—- Hw—IF'“V‘1)V'<-r .- v," Twp—«F “w“ r-- <--'1" WW.<-r-‘l"'."'rv<r mnvw :w'wAVXvWV'm'WW-wvw'z‘wvwvv-WV Wn' W‘ww-me’fimfifi-w'mcv‘ wwrxxo-uw-m rv Max Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Department of Psychiatry Beth Israel Hospital 330 Brookline Avenue Boston, MA 02215 Dear Fred, Your question regarding the two available brief-pulse ECT instruments is timely. The MECTA Corporation has developed four new models, three as computer based modifications of their Model D, and a fourth smaller and simpler version without EEG monitoring. Somatics Inc. has developed one new instrument, the Thymatron. To obtain a review of these instruments, commissioned Helen Pettinati and her associates at the Carrier Clinic to do an 'lnstrument Review", in the fashion of a book review or a Consumer's Report for CONVULSIVE THERAPY. The review was requested in May; and she delivered it to me this past week-end. It will be published in the March, l986 number of CONVULSIVE THERAPY. 1 They find the two instruments comparable, although they give some extra plus marks for the Thymatron. I agreed 9.0.3 to make the review available until it is published, but Helen will share her conclusions with you, if you direct a question to her. (Helen Pettinati, Ph.D., Carrier Clinic, Belle Mead, NJ 08502). -.-—-< . V, m.” ., -w~=1-,—.w..mmv—.f Our own experience is limited to the Thymatron, which we have had since March. We find its use easy and the delivery of currents reliable. The instrument has a single control for selecting current characteristics. There is an auditory EEG monitor, which is simple and effective, although the chirping and warbling rhythm has made some listeners uncomfortable (like the beeper warning on a car). Yet it is an effective index to a seizure and to seizure duration. The manual was written by Richard Abrams, and it has useful information for a user, especially for one with limited experience with the role of different currents and electrode placements. rm” 'w-rwvv-ywvww.‘ umw-er, «vw‘w v WW~ We have not had the new MECTA instruments for use, although one is on order and should be delivered in December. I have seen them demonstrated, however, at two shows (in Dallas and Philadelphia). The new models overcome some of the objections to the earlier model, in that the upper range of energy is more suitable to our practice, and its use should be associated with fewer missed �w'”1".-IFW~".' :mvg—vmr—v—w—u van-ATM" ,, v ~W:L~1"w‘nmmvw.’ru—Vm_w .er.m-r mmywww_“»w_m a... .w Dr. Fred Frankel .l V _ Page 2 seizures than the earlier model. The printed numeric record of stimulus parameters is probably a useful record of the patient's treatment. The paper recorded EEG is useful for researchers (although its quality is not much better than the earlier version, so serious researchers like Weiner, Sackeim, and I will continue to depend on recorders with better resolution for serious research work). models. in pricing, the Thymatron is less expensive than the upper range MECT A __ Treatments at Stony Brook are given by a senior Fellow and the residents, under my su rvision. They have three instruments available (Thymatron, MECTAD, Medcraft and they preferentially use the Thymatron. Perhaps because it is the newest. am unable to give a categorical recommendation since I have not had the opportunity to personally assess the new MECTA models. Ask Helen for her experience, since it is based on a direct experience with the new models.

We trust your visits to Australia were as pleasant as the days in Hawaii. Let's get together when next you spend some days with Bernard in New York. I did attend the session at which Bob Friedel presented his data on the greater efficacy of the combination of thiothixene and ECT than thiothixene alone in 'therapy-resistant' schizophrenic patients. The first question was asked by Seymour Katy and Bob answered that a possible mechanism of action was greater penetrance of thiothixene because ECT induces a reduction in the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. ' The principal studies of blood brain barrier and seizures are cited in the i enclose. The principal scientist behind recent studies is Thomas Bolwig, M.D.(Psychochemistry Institute, Rigshospitalet, 9, Blegdamsvej, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark). He is an old friend and lam confident that he will answer any inquiries directly. attached list and in the three abstracts which Following your suggestion, I would be very much interested in a well designed and controlled examination of this hypothesis in animals.

December 30, 1985 Thomas Bolwig, M.D. Psychochemistry institute Rigshospitalet 9, Biegdamsvej DK-ZlOO Copenhagen Denmark Dear Tom, At the recent ACNP meetings in Maui, Martha and I had a most pleasant time with Ole. He seemed to be enjoying himself (when he wasn't politicing for the CINP or the WPA or the August meeting in Copenhagen). - As he had in Philadelphia, Robert Friedel presented a report on the greater efficacy of the combination of ECT with thiothixene than thiothixene alone in 'therapy-resistant' schizophrenic cases. He reported on nine cases, eight of whom recovered with the combination, and one who was much improved. In the discuSsion, Seymour Kety asked what possible mechanism could Friedel suggest for the greater efficacy; and he presented the view that ECT (and ECS) produces greater permeability of the blood brain barrier, thereby allowing greater levels of thiothixene in the brain tissues, for greater efficacy. had discussed this theory with Sam Gershon, who quickly suggested that this theory was eminently testable in animal studies. i put together a package of citations from your summary in the Handbook of Biological Psychiatry, my book, and that of Stanley Rapaport (Blood-Brain Barrier in Physiology and Medicine), as well as a citation list for him. He may be able to undertake such a study. 1 Perhaps you have already done such a study? If yes, have I missed it? Are the data available? If not, perhaps you or one of your associates would be able to undertake a systematic study? If Bob Friedel's idea gets any play at all, there will be a rash of trials of the same suggestion, and it would be nice for CONVULSIVE THERAPY to have a definitive article on this possible mechanism. Have you organized or will you organize an ECT session for the August WPA meetings in Copenhagen? My best wishes for a happy and healthy 1986!

Dr. M. Shafique Department of Psychiatry Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, Pakistan Dear Professor Shafique, Thank you for your kind invitation to participate in the Fifth International Conference of the Pakistan Psychiatric Society in December. it was kind of Dr. Stevens to suggest my name, and while I would be pleased to visit with you, I do not know how it can be arranged. We lack the funds to make such a trip feasible. As Dr. Stevens may have told you, I have been active in two programs for more than 20 years -— an understanding of the effects of psychotropic drugs and psychiatric treatments on the quantitative EEG, and the mode of action of convulsive therapy, particularly in the relief of mood disorders. If a trip could be arranged, I am able to describe our present usage and understanding of the mode of action of convulsive therapy (Convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice); and on another occasion, describe the theory of association of EEG and behavior which has been helpful in our management of psychiatric patients with psychotropic drugs (EEG and Human Psychopharmacoiogy: Present Practice).

I am collecting books about convulsive therapy, and l have been seeking this book for a few months, without success. ' Enclosed is a copy of my book on ECT. There is a chapter on a “theory' of its mode of antidepressant action. A year later, after some consultations with Jan— Otto Ottosson, we decided to put this theory forth in a more structured fashion. One of my associates, Yiannis Papakostas did a fine job with an initial study of the DST in ECT. Both reprints are enclosed. The Papakostas' findings have been supported by some additional studies since 1981, and I believe them to be essentially correct today. Hence, my interest in neuroendocrine studies. We are collecting CSF and blood samples in patients undergoing ECT, with two taps for each patient. The samples will be assayed for different peptides, and perhaps we will find some support for these ideas. Before I left Hillside, John said that you were in charge of neuroscience seminars held each month in the Department. If you will send me a notice, I will do my best to attend those that I can.

Chalfin, MD. Department of Psychiatry Long Island Jewish - Hillside Medical Center P.O. Box 38 Glen Oaks, New York 1100# Dear Dr. Chalfin, I received your survey, attempted to complete it, but was unable to do so. The survey seems based on Hillside Hospital residents as practitioners, office primarily, and with a decided bias toward psychological therapies. My own career in academic medicine owes much to Hillside -- to the opportunity given me to develop a research program based on clinical experimental studies with the random assignment of patients. The Board of Directors, Dr. Israel Strauss, the hospital Founder, and the Medical Director, Joseph S.A. Miller, gave me much support. In part the support was financial, but much more valuable was the encouragement to undertake the best studies possible. I completed the psychodynamic training at the William Alanson White Institute while a resident and supervisor at Hillside, but I must admit that the teaching and practice paled with the advent of psychotropic drugs in l95#, and I gladly put the practice aside. I do not know how many. other residents went on to an academic career, but it would be helpful if the survey sought these out, and identified the contributions of their Hillside experience to it. Good luck in you study. I would be pleased to receive a copy of the report when it is completed. ‘ Sincerely yours, Max Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Fell Swalcliffe Lea, Nr. Banbury Oxfordshire OX5 Great Britain QTQ Dear Peter, What a lovely address for a new home! There is something about the British use of language that is delightful, and nowhere is it better seen than in your addresses. Since reading your book, I made a search of other literature, and came across the book, "Using Computers in Clinical Practice: Psychotherapy and Mental Health Applications", edited by Marc D. Schwartz (Haworth Press, New York, 1984, 510 pp.). It promises much, but there is little in it that is meaty except for examples of machine scoring of simple psychological tests. They do refer to computer aided diagnostic schedules for clinical psychiatrists, but these are still complex and require main frame type machines for the programs as now written. From time to time, the BMJ presents book reviews of non-medical books. One such recent review (BMJ @1095, 7 April 1984) touts John Collee's Kingsley's Touch, as an outstanding first novel by a young physician, 3 medical mystery. The book is published by Allen Lane (6.95 Pds) and is unavilable through our booksellers. If you read a copy and find it as delightful as Michael O'Donnell says it is, could you send me a copy and I will reimburse you ? Good luck in your new home.

We have not published our studies with antihypertensive drugs, although we have completed assays of propranolol, l-penbutolol (Betapressin), and azepexole. I will be presenting these findings at the CINP meetings in Florence at the end of June, but have not yet written the paper. In the meanwhile, the techniques are clearly sensitive to the CNS effects of these substances. Each affects brain function at doses which are clinically relevant, and do so in normotensive male volunteers. Preliminary reports of studies in progress in elderly hypertensives define CNS effects which are strongly sedative in type. These have been done by Kleindienst at Hoechst (Frankfurt), Matecjek and Irwin at Sandoz (Basie), and Herrmann (Berlin). I anticipate that they will be presenting their findings this year as well.

My own in Psychiatry l contribution to the insulin coma story was to carry out a random assignment, insulin coma gs chlorpromazine study at Hillside Hospital in New York in 19571958. This was published under the title "Comparative Study of Chlorpromazine and Insulin Coma in the Therapy of Psychosis ( JAMA _l_§_6_: 1806—1850, 1958). The enclosed Chinese paper reports on 2,858 cases of psychoses treated with ECT, and send it on, as requested. If you can translate the data tables, I would be most interested in the findings. The citation list of five papers is for reports between 1950 and 1960 only. Do they not get any Western books or journals? Is that a reason for the continued use of insulin coma? thanks for an interesting paper. I would be grateful to receive any reports that may come from your experience with insulin coma (and ECT, should My you get back there again.) My regards.

I enclose a draft of my report to the CINP -- but you should be aware that this is a reading copy and lacks the tables, figures, and references which a properly completed paper would include. You may use it for your outline, but I must ask that you not quote it directly. I suggest that you obtain a copy of my 1979 book, CONVULSIVE THERAPY: THEORY and PRACTICE, published by Raven Press. There has been much progress since then, and I enclose additional reports which supplement my book. You may be pleased to know that I will edit a new journal, CONVULSIVE THERAPY, to be published by Raven Press, which will appear early in 1985. Should you or your associates have reports which may be suitable for such a journal, I would be pleased to receive them. My regards and best wishes for the success of your efforts.

Friedman, MD. 20 Park Avenue New York City 10016 Dear David, What a lovely note; my thanks for your kind comments. There are days when the work seems so much of the same, that I wonder why I don't retire and follow the sun. But then there are notes like yours and all the work seems worthwhile again. My connection with ECT is largely the accident of my residency experience at Hillside, where I was asked to take over the unit since I had some years experience in neurology at Bellevue at the time I came to Hillside. It also helped that other residents were disinterested and I was willing. But the experience has been productive. My book in l979 was well received (it is out-of-print) and the publisher asked me this summer whether I would edit a new journal. 1 agreed to work on CONVULSIVE THERAPY a new quarterly journal that you should see aims It of in the stimulate more research into ECT with the to late more spring. aim of improving the training and treatment procedures first, but ultimately to finding a better treatment for major depressive disorders. If you liked the parts of the Meduna history which related to his autobiography, I decided (once I had the authority) to publish the whole autobiography in a few issues of CONVULSIVE THERAPY. I hope you will find the sections as interesting as I did. —— family is maturing in fine style. My son is a geologist at Arizona State his own home, and a 'significant other'. My older daughter has just has University, her doctorate at Duke in cellular biology and is a post—doc at Yale.

My work at Stony Brook is rewarding, although our resident candidates are a rather sorry lot and much of my time seems wasted. But there is a continuing research program and the medical students are brighter each year. It is a joy to teach them. My family. So, my thanks for your kind comments.

My experience with Bob Gerner is largely through his writings. On an occasion, a few years ago, I visited him at UCLA to consult him with regard to our ongoing studies with des-Tyr-gamma-endorphin;and lately I have consulted him with regard to our CSF studies. He also presented a Grand Rounds in our Department of Psychiatry this month. the twelve years that he has been publishing scientific articles, he has established an outstanding record in clinical and experimental psychiatry. He is an acknowledged leader in questions of changes in the CSF of psychiatric patients during the course of their illness. He has done some of the best individual studies of the behavioral effects of beta~endorphin. His contributions to the ECT literature have been original, so much so that when I was making up a panel of assessors for a new scientific journal, CONVULSIVE THERAPY, I invited him to be a member of the editorial board. In There is a long list of co—workers as co-authors of his publications. He is a friendly and popular psychiatrist, with a pleasant personality. In his presentations, he is relaxed and exhibits a detailed knowledge of his subject matter. 1 estimate that he is a good teacher. He is one of the bright young men of biological psychiatry, with established skills in research, writing, and teaching. While I can assume that he must be a good clinician from the quality of the clinical research reports, I am unable to assess this aspect of his career directly. When our new chairman was looking for some bright talent to invite to Stony Brook, our committee agreed that Bob Garner's record was outstanding; hence, his visit to us this month. ’ am pleased to recommend his promotion to Associate Professor without hesitation. He clearly meets the criteria for academic excellence for such a title at this University. I My best regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

The tan is fading rapidly, and despite my best efforts to tell my co-workers that it came from sitting too close to the slide projectors, they are not persuaded. . A reprint from our experience with fenfluramine is enclosed. The work was initially done at the Missouri Institute of Psychiatry in 1964-65, and replicated in 1965—66. 1 hesitated publishing it, until we had some clinical experience (open trials in obese subjects seeking a weight reduction regime) and had confirmed the compound's sedative qualities. it was this study that convinced us that the pharmaco—EEG model had merit in man, yielding information that was independent of animal trials, more relevant and reliable with regard to clinical projections and experience. It is this model that has been so useful in defining the clinical profiles of doxepin, mianserin, flutroline, and some antihistaminics, antihypertensives, and hormonal agents with greater accuracy and reliability than the animal pharmacology. This model is well accepted in EurOpe, where many of the large pharmaceutical companies have 'in-house' pharmaco-EEG laboratories; and where numerous 'contract-laboratories' do the work for the smaller firms. The Europeans have founded an "International Pharmaco-EEG Group" which now holds biennial meetings (similar to the CINP). in this country, only Turan ltil at the New York Medical College and I are active researchers in this field. If you are interested in obtaining a more accurate appraisal of enantiomers or congeners of fenfluramine, the pharmaco-EEG model can yield useful projections as to a compound's CNS activity, its classification, dose-response range, and behavioral effects. My I also enclose some more recent summaries of work from my laboratory. best regards.

The reports are very useful, and I will send you a copy of my review for Peter Loosen when it is done in January. When Yannis Papakostas worked at Stony Brook and reported that failure of the DST to normalize was associated with a poor clinical outcome, 1 was diffident, but encouraged him to publish his finding. Since then, the number of reports has increased, and while the diagnostic usefulness of the DST remains in question, i am more than ever impressed that the continued presence of abnormal cortisol measures is a poor prognostic sign -- one that we ignore rarely, often increasing our treatment, or at the least, increasing our vigilance of the patient's course. Your reports support this impression. Your summaries combine the data for antidepressant drugs and ECT. The efficacy of ECT and drug therapies differ, often markedly, with ECT usually superior to that of drug therapies. It may be a fruitful exercise to extract the ECT data from the other antidepressant therapies, to assess the relationships between DST findings and the ECT process. As you may know, i have accepted the responsibility to edit a new journal, CONVULSIVE THERAPY, to be published by Raven Press, with the first issue to appear in March. Should you undertake such a study, I would be pleased to have an opportunity to consider it for this new journal. My best wishes for a happy and productive 1985.
