ECT was Just received, having The best source of demographic data concerning ECT may be found in two recently published volumes- one is the report of the Task Force of Baa American Psychiatric Association Report # 1h, dated November 1978; and the second is a volume, "Convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice" which I published in February, 1979 (Raven Press, New York). In both, you will find the latest survey data summarised. These should be available in the medical school library. For earlier reports, you will find the fill citation in my book. There was attmme, in the 1950's, when ECT was given to patients in the lower social classes in a greater degree than to upper class patients. That situation is clearly reversed today, with almost all EDT being given to upper class patients who attend private or University hospitals. Practically none is given in state, municipal and V.A. hospitals, where the largest concentration of lower class mentally ill can be expected Good to be found. luck. i E Sincerely yours, Hex 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.

Mr. G. S. Avery, Editor—in-Chief ADIS Auckland, New Zealand Dear Mr. Auery, The report on Minaserin written by Brogden, Heel, Speight is well done, and I find little to modify. There are some errors in citations which I can bring to your attention, but the sense of the text is consistent with my experience with mianserin. and Avery that could be modified has to do with the screen and how this led to the study of mianserin as a thymoleptic. EEG analysis as a basis for the classification of psychoactive drugs has a long history with some definitive studies in 1961 and 1963 published by myself and Itil. In the mid—1960's, we saw the possible usefulness of the classification in predicting the activity of new drugs and the first studies were done with such drugs as fenfluramine, cyclazocine and doxepin. In each instance, the EEG screen was a better predictor of the clinical activity of the compound than the animal pharmacology. This was particularly true for doxepin, whose pharmacology was scan as anxiolytic in the early studies. Our study found it antidepressant, and since then, this view has been confirmed. Based on these data, I recommended to Organon that new drugs be screened and in 1970 they sent a number of compounds to Itil and myself, than working in separate laboratories. He found mianserin to be active and its profile as a thymoleptic led to the subsequent development. Even after the EEG screen and clinical trials, the pharmacology failed to meet the accepted thymoleptic standards. The importance of-the EEG screen could be emphasized, because, as Dr. Itil noted in his 1972 paper, he 'discovered' its thymoleptic activity. One emphasis significance of the EEG As to the citation errors-~ I note that Fall et al are dated 1972 on page 6 and 1973 on page 7. 1973 is correct. The citation is lacking in the citation list. Also, there is a citation to Pink at al (1977) on page 6, which is lacking 6n the citation list. I enclose a cepy of the 1977 report for your reviewer to cite if he wishes. Thank you for the opportunity to review this article presents the data in a fashion similar to my view of it.

Specifically, the section 7.2.2 should be expanded in some way to reflect the state of knowledge presented at our sessions. You may recall that two methods were discussed at length as the changes in brain function induced by drugs whichreflecting crossed the brood-brain bustier barrier, that of pupillography and of quantitative electroencephalography. These methods provide valid end~points to the effects of drugs on the brain, and as quantitative as established biochemical methods in this are regard. of the by ACNPwFDA Would you consider amending the paragraph 7.2.2 the addition of the following: ". . . There is currently no recognized standard approach, although pharmacodynamic methods such as the quantitative EEG and pupillography, which are responsive to the effects of drugs which cross the blood-brain barrier, provide the most logical opportunity for such development." Quantitative EEG methods provide indices the assessment of benzodiazepines (diazepam, bromazepam),formianserin, doxephn, thiothixene, phenytoin, among others, in studies from my laboratory alone. Others have made similar contributions, and the negative statement of 7.2.2 ought to reflect this experience. My best regards.

In chatting about the-Journal, Comprehensive Psychiatry, I came to understand that the publisher was requiring a long lead time for articles. A few days later I was in my publisher's office, Dr. Alan Edelson of Raven Press, reviewing the progress with my book. He talked about a number of new Journals that he was setting up and asked what I thought about a new Journal in psychiatry or psychopharmacology. Believing that only a very good new Journal would serve a useful purpose, and recognizing the effort that went into such a venture, I thdught that he might do better by taking over a Journal that was already active, but one that could use his drive and publishingoslills. I mentioned respect for Comprehensive Psychiatry and the little history that knew. Yesterday, I-received a letter in which he asked whether I could tell him any more about the Journal. my I I have no knowledge of the arrangements with Stratton, or your satisfaction with them.

Schwartz, M.D. 26 Trunbull St. New Haven, Conn. 06511 Dear Dr. Schwartz, Thank you for the copies of the past issues of Micro-Psych. Psychiatrists were among the firstvphysicians to see the merit of digital computers and the present enthusiasm based on smaller and less expensive devices continues this drive. There are many excellent applications vhich are being developed and I expect such devices to be as secure in clinics and offices in the 1980's as typewriters areztoday. Our initial interest in digital computers was to reduce the tedium and inaccuracy of hand counts of EEG and ECG wiggles, and in measuring the changes induced by drugs on behavior. My first digital computer EEG analyser was established in 196h at the Missouri Institute of Psychiatry (IBM 1710) with the support of the staff of the Computer Center of Washington University; second an IBM 1800 system developed in New York in 1967, by D. M. Shapiro, D. So. This system is operatidnal at SUNY at Stony Brook and consists of an IBM 1800, 36K memory, 2 disks, printer, typewriter, card read and punch and assorted other gear. The system has steadily churned out EEG analyses using period analysis and power spectral density analysis for the initial data reduction, and I wide range of statistical and display packages for later presentations (t—test, AHOVA, AECOVA, linear and quadratic regression, etc.). The system analyses tapes from drug studies ~—- about 8/year from our laboratory and as many from outside laboratories that collect their data and ship the tapes to us for analysis. ‘ also developed an interactive diagnosis system based on a CD0 interactive display terminal (one 217A with digiscribe) and an IBM ass/ho. The programs were written in PL/I (DOS) and were basedoon two diagnostic logics --— that of DIAGNO—II develOped by Spitzer and Endicott and the We by Overall and Gerham. These exercises found such interactive diagnostic systems very useful in research studies but their expense BPRS �M. 2. D. Schwartz, M.D. April 30, 1979 precluded a general utility. Those programs were published in 1971, and I have-not gone book to that problem since, but the newer systems of psychiatric diagnosis, particularly the DEM—III and RDC use logics that allow computerization with little translation. I an optimistic that some of your headers will be able to accomplish these translations and programs for the smaller machines. Such facitity will provide the necessary underpinning for a more systematic diagnosis system and much better data for the inevitable revisions of D8M~Iv and —V which are sure to come. Quantitative EEG analysis is esteblished as a useful process in psychOphsrmscology ——— to classify'and identify new psychoactive drugs one to define their pheroacodynamic properties. Some references are cited betas for the readers who may be interested. There is an oppor» tunity for those who wish to collect EEG or ECG date on compatible tapes (IRIG T~channel Annex SP 300, 1/2 inch; or 1316 h—chsnnel Hewlett Packard 3760A or 376b, l/h inch) to have them processed in our laboratories at nominal expense.

What was not clarified in my discussions with him were the topic of the session and the reimbursement and fees. I believe he assumed that you or your office would handle these details. As I indicated in our conversation, the customary fee for such lectures is $350, and expenses. Fees are waived for institutions in the Office of Mental Health of the State of New York and post-graduate teaching sessions of the University. It was a surprise to me that the invitation was based on some agreement that no fees would be paid to the staff at Stony Brook. Since I am not a member of the LIJH faculty, nor a party to the agreement which you enunciated, the usual conditions of lectures will apply. Unless I hear otherwise, I will assume that the invitation has been withdrawn.

Small, M.D. Larue D. Carter Memorial Hospital Indianapolis, Indiana h6202 Dear Joyce, Thank you for the copies of the progress report on ECT and the preprint on the lithium-BOT study. I found both interesting and useful. If I understand the ECT-drug study, so far the ECT alone, drug alone and combined treatments are equally effective with son: advantage for the combined drug—ECT combination. I do hope that these findings are examined further. The lithium study is quite stimulating. The data are the. basis for a prospective study witch needs to be done. I found three citations that I missed (Hoenig & Chaulk, Ray, and Remick)-- and I thank you for bringing these to my attention. I believe that the cautions you recommend (not to use ththium and ECT together) are good ones, and I will adopt them, until further data are developed. (While the other combination, lithium and haloperidol [or chlorpromazine] is controversial as to its toxicity, as a therapeutic conservative, I still do not like to use the two together, and so teach my students). Many thanks.

FROM: 122148 Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry School of Medicine Max ‘ at Stony Brook Island, N.Y. llT9h S.U.N.Y. Long SUBJECT: Assembly Article Bill 3h. The proposed law 7237: proposed amendment to Mental Hygiene Law ignores present procedures which already provide that psychiatric treatments only be given after proper consent has been obtained. The law ignores the experience that when the restrictions on medical practice are increased, treatments are no longer given and patients are deprived of the best (most effective and safe) treatment for their care. The preposed amendment will serve to further deprive patients in state mental facilities of the type of care which may he most effective. As an example, we found that less than 1% of patients admitted in 1975-1976 to state facilities received ECT, while 5.2% of patients admitted to University hospitals received this treatment (Annie, Fink and Saferstein, 1978). This is particularly true for patien€;who have the following diagnoses: psychotic depression. involutionsl depression, depression in the elderly, endogenous depression, depression with delusions; as well as some patients with mania and catatonia. It is for such illnesses that ECT is particularly effective, with efficacy rates that are greater than other available therapies, including drugs (APA Task Force Report, Chapter 2, 8. Pp. 13-56. 1978; Fink, Chapter 3. pp. 21-h1). The proposed law restricts the sunber of ECT treatments to 15 in any-12 month period. Such a restriction ignores variability in response of subjects, relapse rates, and experience with different illnesses. While most patients respond with an average of 7-9 treatments, about 10% require more treatments. About 10% of depressed patients who are not given maintenance drug therapy may relapse within six months. �Letson C. 2. June 18, 1979 risk—benefit analysis of ECT finds it more effective and as safe (or safer) than antidepressant drug therapy for patients with A psychotic depression (Fink, 1978; Pink, Chapter 5, pp. 51-58, 1979). also believe that present guidelines for consent as described Task Force (Chapter 7. pp. 132-151, 1978) and Fink (pp. 219-222, 1979) are adequate safeguards. This is particularly true for experimental treatments. which already must meet peer review under existing by we APA IRB guidelines. This proposed law is heincus on many counts - deprives patients of an effective treatment, increases”the cost of care, increases risk of suicide and death, as well as impairs confidentiality, consent and freedom of choice in the doctorupatient relationship. Further. the history of such laws, as exemplified by the effects of a similar law in California, is to deprive lower class minority patients (those 'served principally'lthWate mental health services), of a useful treat;ment, while upper class patients, with the same illness ere able to obtain care in facilities in neighboring states. Such deprivation of fservicee of our minorities is not an acceptable position for the y'legislature of the Empire State. ra'References: American ikAsnis, Psychiatric Association, Task Force Report #1h, 6., Fink, end ‘h79-h82, 1978.

Quattlebaum President and Executive Director National Committee on the Treatment of Intractable Pain P.O. Box 3h571 Washington, D. C . 2003‘: Dear Mrs. Quattlebaum, My experience with Opioids in limited to experimental studies of.the central effects of heroin, methadone and levomethadyl. and their antagOnists, naloxone and cynlaaooine. These studies were done between 1966 and 1972, at the New York Medical College. Some reprints derived from these studies are attached. It is not clear to me how ; othese experiences, which are focussed on EEG, pupillary response, gheart rate, respiration and mood, would be helpful to your mission. In our experience, we did find that intravenous heroin could produce a seizure. This effeet'could be blocked by naloxone. We ‘also found_that tolerance to methadone and levomsthadyl developed rapidly (balk days), as did tolerance to the agonist (opioid) effects ﬁftcyclazocine. concluded that the narcotic antagonists could be a useful therapy'of opioid dependence, if drug delivery could be assured; but opme to no conclusions regarding the usefulness of heroin. 1; 1 § we I J], e.

Scheduling e drug is an aﬂminiatretive and political act, not medicel. Nothing in our experience would suggest that heroin is uniquely different from other opioide, except in rate of entry to the brain and in half-life.

To minimally document the facts in the article, and to allow for the separation from speculation, will require about 80 citations. In writing the report and submitting initially, I was mindful of it the instruction regarding referencing: "Since TINS is primarily intended as a newspaper for the neurosciences, only a limited number of references should appear in the text.". . . of up to 10 titles in alphabetical order. . For this reason, I cited my book so frequently, since it is in that volume, of 308 pages and more than 1000 citations, that complete referncing is available. I think it would be unfortunate to withdraw the artecle since I believe it does follow the spirit and the interest reflected in the earlier reports by Crow and Johnstone and by Green. The decision to accept is yours, but if you wish to include the article for your readers interest, I am.prepared to re-submit with an extended citation and speculation. list and with some clarification as to observations wonder and indeed such I am not sure that I is if the reviewers' necessary, comments do not reflect their difficulty in making the Jump from their preconceptions regarding ECT. The present views may in time be proved wrong, but they have as much, if not more evidence in their support than other theories of the mode of action of ECT. Perhaps they deserve the opportunity to appear in your press, at the least for the response they seem to engender. cbtations can re-submit the article with extended or with within a few days of your reply.

Kipfer, I am pleased to write this letter on behalf of Dr. Richard Abrams who is being considered for the position of Chairman, wayne State University Department of Psychiatry. I met Dr. Abrams when he returned from service to complete his psychiatric residency training at thehisNewmilitary York Medical College in 1966. Based on his experience with ECT in the Army, we designed a study of ECT which was funded by the NIMH and which was done at the Gracie Square Hospital. The work was done between 1967 and 1972. During that time, Dr. Abrams completed his residency with distinction, and Joined our staff as a staff psychiatrist. In rapid progression, he became the chief of the inapatient unit at Metropolitan Hospital, and then moved to Stony Brook where he directed the University service at Central Islip Psychiatric Center. In 1976, he moved to the Chicago Medical School with Dr. Michael Taylor. is an outstanding clinician, researcher and work has been innovative and with Dr. Taylor, they have challenged some of the diagnostic concepts which have been {current for a number of decades.

His Dr. Abrams clinical In his teaching, Dr. Abrams has shown excellent skills, particulary in encouraging resdients to undertake research projects.

In his research, he has exhibited skill and a of the literature.

His Joint efforts in psychopathology with Dr. Taylor have already to, and it is in this effort that he has shown excellent been alluded skills. Finally, his administrative experience also encourages his consideration for the position of leadership. At the time that he took the position of director of the University Service at Central Islip Psychiatric Center, the unit was little more than a back ward in a primitive state hospital. By the expenditure of much effort and travail, he impaoved the staffing, trained personnel, obtained the support of the adminsitration, and with the aid of the resdlents, developed a fine teaching unit, which served to treat patients and as a source of publications and research. (It is fair to say that his successors have been unable to maintain the high stand— ard of academic excellence which he established.) It is clear that Dr. Abrams has the academic, clinical research experience to undertake the position of chairman at wayne State University in psychiatry, and I recommend him highLy.

Im January 30, 1979 Dr. L.C. Kiloh School of Psychiatry University of New South Wales Little Bay, Australia Dear Dr. Kiloh, Thank you for sending me the review, "ECT:Its Place and Value in Present Day Psychiatry". I found thorough and detailed, and congratulate you on the effort. While I agree with most of what it is included, including the conclusions, there is our understanding of the mode of action. . 7mm, mpg“! , . a, some question about It seems to me that one can deduce much about the efficacy of convulsive therapy from the information in your review—~ notably the importance of the bilateral central seizure, the equivalence of inductions, the need for multiple seizures, the predictors of outcome, the diagnostic classes which respond, and the neurophysiological evidence of the importance of bilateral EEG changes in the adsessment of efficacy. From these -observations, it seems to me that there must be an influence on some centrencephalic structure, an influence which is expressed after a number of seizures, and therefore in the persistent biochemical changes. It has been the influence of the neuroendocrinologists that suggests the next step in the process. The neuroendocrine changes which mark endogenous depression have been defined in part; and in your excellent review of the predictors of ECT, you noted that the vegetative symptoms are the best predictors of ECT outcome. These observations, plus the notes on changes in calcium metabolism and the btood brain barrier have led me (and others, as Jan Otto Ottosson) to define the present view of the mode of action of convulsive therapy in terms of the hypothalamic effects. Surely, in relation to our knowledge of the mode of action of other psychiatric therapies, we are farther along in convulsive therapy, and a ummary of your views is the only omission in your report which I missed. other question of persistent concern is the role of It is not clear from the literature whether such treatments are effective, for whom, and at what rates.

As you know, I visited Paul Blachly in Oregon in 1968 and undertook a series of confirming studies of MEOT. The publications relate our experience, which was not good. In 1976, we purchased a MECTA instrument. In our initial treatments, we were unable to achieve a grand mal seizure using maximum current intensity and settings. We called the manufacturer, returned the instrument as he requested, and it was returned to us, with the assurance that a faulty part had been replaced. We again attempted to induce seizures and could do so at the maximum settings. When we attempted to use unilateral electrodes, we were unable to achieve the higher currents needed for such inductions. Gradually, the therapists replaced the instrument and when it was no longer useful, it was shelved, where it remains today. In the review of which was undertaken by the MECT (among other modifications of ECT) Task Force on Convulsive Therapy, we were unable to find systematic data which would assure us that this modification was safe or more effective than routine ECT, expecially with unilateral APA electrode placements. Our conclusions are cited in the Task Force report, #lh of the APA reports, dated November, 1978. In my own review of ECT, which is in press and which will be available by the end of the month, I come to the same conclusion, that ﬂlﬂl indications for MECT are unclear, and further study is necessary before its role in treatment is defined." In that statement, I am being kinder than my real feelings, which are that MECT the little Justification except as a research tool. acquainted with your very interesting report on the outcome in ECT, as published in the issue of Comprehensive Psychiatry.

The possibility of a therapeutic window for ECT is an important concept, and is consistent with the experiences reported from my laboratory by M. A. Green, who found that the duration of seizures changed with treatment,and that thresholds usually fuse. But we were unable to define a ’window', my but then we didn't have the concept. With regard to the MECTA, there is need for better ECT, and perhaps the unidirectional brief stimulus approach recommended by Lieberson in the 1950's and lately by Weaver is the way to go. But there seem to be inherent faults in the MECTA that instrumentation for . will be useful in the clinic. Similarly, the efficacy and applicability of MMECT is so far from demonstrated, that a text as to how it should be applied clinically may be premature. need remedying before the instrument window' in ECT.

If the treatment procedures were within the range of the usual, i.e., with anesthesia which was of reasonable duration, and oxygenation was maintained, it is unlikely that a seizure induction would induce a prolonged brain damage.

(Electroencephalography): I sought this item since the effects sf psychoactive drugs are clearly defined in EEG measures. At but when I first I thought there were no such articles to be indexed, found three among the citations that would clearly be so indexed, I assumed the class was not in the master index file. EEG Convulsive therapy (ECT; Electroshock therapy): It is fairly clear that the effects of ECT are operative through biochemical mechanisms that are similar to those which are invoked as explanations for the effects of antidepressant drugs. The index includes reference to ECS, the animal equivalent of ECT when doen properly, but not to ECT. Other items of interest that Mianaerin seem lacking are: (GB—9h) pharmaeokinetics, drug pharmacodynamics, drug plasma (blood) levels I trust these comments are of some use; My regards.

Chickastcr, Susscx, England John Wiley Dear Dr. Thornton, I am pleased to roxpond to your letter at 27 Novcmbar rugarding the propascd volume by Drs. Green and'Costain. First off, thn material sent ma was an outline of a volume and the details are too skimpy to allcv a dctuiled assessment of this volume's potentials against othcra in the fielﬁ; but thc material is sufficient to allow a goncral annuaamcnm.

I regard their knowledge of the role of catecholamﬁnes in behavior. and tha relations between brain chemistry ana behavior, very highly. In the culling, I believe that they should have no difficulty in preicating the chapters in Section 1 (Eeurotransmittcrs) ably and clearly. I presume that thuy will emphasize the relations between human and animal stuﬂicn.

December 6, 1978 ............. page 2 In reviewing the list of psychopathologic states, I noted important omissions: the special problems of children end-adolescents, the elderly, and the adults with psychoneuroses. There are important tapics among each of these specialised populations which ought to be considered. It is probebhy true that the findings among these populations are particularly sparse, and that may be the reason for the omission, but e text for studients should include some statements about the special some sensitivity among children, the theories and studies among anxiety cases (ipg., lactate precipitated anxiety, beta blockers, snti—hypertensives). problems in metabolism.emong the elderly, the and As to the specific questions. There is a need for additional volumes which can be used in teaching basic psychiatry to medical students and residents. At this University, I am charged with the respdnsibility of teaching psychophsrmscology to medical students.

Thompson Department of Pharmacological Sciences University of Newcastle upon Tyne NEL TRU, England Dear Prof. Thompson, Having returned from meetings and recovered from the time warp, I have reviewed your questions. I shall try to answer them as best I can. You must realize that the answers are not readily available, nor can I document some of the hunches which I will describe. That is what has sustained our interest in the problems of EEG and drugs since 1958. The meetings in Basle were the most recent of a long series, and you should become acquainted with the citations, as well as the latest publication which Mr. Mateddekkwill issue at the end of the year. It is clear that there is no reliable relationship clinical diagnosis. That is categorical for all psychiatric states described as 'functional'. The only associations are those that are well known-— seizure disorders, post-tratmatic states, mass lesions of the brain, post-infectious states, toxic states. For these, there are intimate associations between EEG measures and clinical state. In the toxic states, for example, the association is very high and some between any 1. EEG variable and authors have used the EEG measures as an index of decompensation, as in hepatic and uremic dysfunctions. difficulty with EEG and depression is based on many First, the EEG is a measure of the integrity of the CNS at one moment in time. The diagnosis of depression is a generalization based on historical, experiential, symptomatic factors as well as the training and sensitivity of the psychiatrist. It is the most unreliable of diagnoses with consensual validation less than 50% across cases or studies.It is no wonder that the sensitive EEG measures with careful quantification bear no relation to the presnt diagnostid myths. problems. The 2. The question of stability of the EEG reflects some problems with the meaning of EEG measures. The brain is in constant biochemical flux, changing its state for every cell and for the whole basin in patterns that are related to time of day, waking and sleeping, feeding, exteroceptive signals, internal changes (anoxia, for example), etc. It is clear and well demonstrated, that under laboratory conditions, when samples are taken at the same time of day, with adequate attention to food and sleep, �. a... ._. . . .. van... .. :r'm'ler w.‘>wu - ,-mn-"-—-an“«aria—n—nquMW'v—u‘gwwv: .-.— m» .7 -- .. -~.—~v--w -2. EEG records are highly stable. patient's or subject's record data are derived from the With It is possible to identify the individual when we have a few samples as a base. many placebo controlled drug studies. volunteers, the date are excellent. With These patients, however, since 1958, there has been a dearth of adequate studies in which placebo controlled EEG records have been taken. We carried out one such study, 1959—1962, in which patients received on a random basis, either imipramine, chlorpromazine or placebo therapy for five weeks. The placebo controlled patient records were remarkably stable, and the data was feund to be reliable. However, at the time, our principal interest was in the difference bertwenn the EEG effects of the two active compounds and the pacebo and so did not assess the placebo trials independently. experience, I would have to assume that the EEG for will remain stable, from day to day, so long as the behavior, the state of the depression, the feeding and sleep behavior, remain stable. Instability in any of these factors should elicit a variability in the EEG. The issue can be turned about. When EEG From my a depressed patient records are repeated, and attention paid to time of day and feeding, then any changes in the records are likely due to the changes in mood of the patient. 3. We have not attempted to answer the question about diagnosis, primarily because I have found diagnostic rubrics to be unstable in time and location, highly subjective, wnd of little scientific value. Our emphasis has been on the use of different methods of EEG analysis to measure drug effects, and here the issue is clear. Any quantitative method, carefully applied, is capable of reflecting EEG changes induced by psychoactive drugs. Some methods are more sensitive than others. Thus, the least sensitive measure is that proposed by Goldstein, that of mean integrated amplitude. It is an easy measure, widely applied, with some success in gross studies. The next two methods, period analysis and power spectral density analysis are almost equivalent in sensitivity, although period analysis reflects faster (higher) frequencies better than PWRS, and PWRS is a more accurate reflection of the slower frequencies. I tend to teach that period analysis is like the low power of my microscope, and PWRS like the high power. Both are useful and reliable, for different problems. h. As to the PWRS, we have used principally the methods of Tukey using Hanning filter weights. classic the present time, it is clear that PWRS examination of in volunteer subjects is the most sensitive measure of drug effects in man. Other methods, like sleep EEG, averaged evoked potential, contingent negative variation, are all less sensitive, less reliable, and less carefully worked out. the alert 5.

Thus, there is good evidence that the clinical efficacy for unilateral and bilateral ECT is the sine. There is one problem with unilateral ECT, however, and that is that missed seizures are more frequent. The amount of current necessary to induce a seizure with unilateral electrodes is significantly higher; high enough for some therapists not to elicit a seizure for each application. Since many present day therapisys use barbiturate-suecinylcholine anesthesia, the seizure is masked and there is a mistake possible when the therapist does not monitor the duration of the seizure using one of the estabilshed monitoring methods: blood pressure cuff inflated befbre Anectine, EEG or EMG.

I thought then, and still most believe, that you and your associates original and intrepid investigators in then are still the same today. have been among the America. My kind views However, in some issues, the data that you present is inconsistent with those produced by other observers and the source of the inconsistency has to be found. I have stated in the past, and still believe, that the principal findings of the toxicity of cannabis smoking is to be found in examinations of the users. They, alone, have the experience from which we can derive a realistic estimate of toxicity. artificial The smoking by primates, under conditions can, at best, provide clues as to what systems should be examined. I have dedicated six years of effort to examine the effects of cannabis in volunteers in New York and chronic users in Athens. My experience is extensive, probably as extensive as any of the younger invetigators writing today, and as I wrote in a number of reports, including the final section of the volume Hashish- Studies of’Longhterm 033, published by Raven Press. I commend the section to you for the best opinion that I have on the subject. As your letter reflects, the issue is no longer one of fact or science, but of emotion and politics. I regret that you have seen fit to allow your name and work to be used in the public press and that you have sought to enjoin in public argument. I have not followed this road, as you well know. Indeed, I have stopped my work in cannabis since leaving the New York Medical College (1973). �Robert Heahh, M.D. G. controls .......

In any case, I am honored that you think my opinion is It is kind of you to send me the reports and I thank merit. As a matter of record, I have spent the past few years reviewing my studies of ECT and have Just written an extensive review of the problem, which will be published by Raven Press of New York in January as convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice. In reviewing the extensive literature and assessing the data, it has been possible to develop a reasonable theory of the mode of action of ECT; It is clear that this major treatment is an analog of pharmacotherapy and that its action is not dependent on any of the physical elements of the treatment but purely on the biochemical changes induced in the brain. It has been a surprise to me that the leaders of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and other august societies have shunned this treatment. I have learned much from the assessment and I hope that you will have a chance to look at the volume when My it appears. best regards.

Despite the fact that they had used hashish for more than interest in smoke we and experimentation with opioids was 20 years, their insignificant. They did tobacco in large quantities and did use alcohol. In no instance to were we able document the combined use of hashish and opioids. While such obserbations are not compelling, they do suggest that the connection is probably not inherent in the pharmacology of the drugs, but in the propinquity of the distribution systems. If one is looking for a synergistic use of drugs, we can suggest that cannabis between opioids and cannabis 'and tobacco are clearly used together Perhaps the most antagonists. 3 When / I first by long-term users. interesting studies are those with narcotic became acquainted with the subuect of opiate dependence, four competing theories of treatment were current: abstinence after detoxification, abstinence in the framework of group therapy, cross tolerance to methadone, and blockade by narcotic anttgonists, chiefly cyclazocine. Abstinence after detoxification was a temporary e expedient with an unacceptable relapse rate; abstinence in a group therapy setting was helpful to a very small to implement. The sample of users and very expensive principal treatments antagonists. working with were methadone and methadone and its the narcotic long acting analog, levomethadyl, I found these regimens of limited usefulness. Proper use of methadone did not preclude the use of other drugs such as opiates, barbiturates, alcohol, �and cocaine, and methadone these drugs into the some find extensively. Spillage of additional source of opioid deaths community was an and dependence. we did in were used substitution useful methadone and levomethadyl patients, but our successes were few --- too few or to be considered a success in relation to our costs. to be gratifying Our greatest energy was dedicated to cyclasocine therapy, which I thought was a logical treatment detoxified and this regimen, patients are first in a drug-free state, are gradually and prophylaxis. In after a few days introduced to single daily doses of cyclazocine. This narcotic antagonist has a long duration of action and after a few weeks, single doses of four to five mg are sufficient to block the effects of heroin for more than 2h hours. Thus, patients who up to are on a maintenance dose of cyclazocine have no euphoria or sense of well being heroin and we 25 mg after believed that this negative reenforcement would lead to disuse of heroin and eventually to an end of dependence. But we found many problems with the treatment, the principal one being the 5 2 .; need for voluntary comjliance by the subject daily for a number of years, and few --- he must take the medication patients are so cooperative as to complete a satisfactory treatment course. Lately, other antagonists have been studied, the best known being naltrexone, which is safer and easier to use than cyclazocine. The reason for raising the question of the antagonists is the perspective they give to the medical management of opiate dependence -— there are ways to treat dependent subjects but each method ultimately depends on the cooperation of the subject, something that is difficult to achieve. These experiences with users have made me our ability to solve the opiate dependence problems pessimistic about by present medical or legal means. Opiates are dangerous substances and they should be �-5controlled in their distribution. One wonders, however, whether driving users to the streets has been successful, and whether relaxing controls for greater medical usage may not have some benefits. I am acquainted by reading only with the mixed picture presented by the English regulations for the use of opioids, and despite their difficulty, on balance I think that they are more sensible than the laws in New York, where phsyicians are enjoined from using opioids other than for methadone maintenance in established clinics. I think the present rules away from any the illicit experience with opioids and have driven most made most ptactitioners users dependent on marketplace. Finally, the most extensive experience I have had is with chronic users of hashish in Athens. There, a team of scientists from the New York Medical College and to study a group of The worked together h? hashish users and a matched sample of controls. users were the survivors of a larger sample of chronic users of hashish which ‘ the University of Athens at the was known to the scientists at the University of Athens end of the second World War. We found that the users showed little toxicity -- they were no different from controls in medical or neurologic status, or in tests of brain function. There were some differences in psychologic tests which seemed related to their education. evidence of individuals classify as psychopaths -they were willing to flaunt the law for gratification of their senses. We did find that they had developed a tolerance to the pharmacologic But they were effects of cannabis. 150 mg we would probably They could smoke hashish containing more than THC-delta—9 and develop greater than the effects of doses (over 100 mg in naive subjects. 10 euphoria and cardiovascular responses no to 20 mg doses in our volunteers. Such THC-delta-9) are known to cause vascular collapse we attempted to demonstrate withdrawal symptoms, but �-6the subjects were willing only to remain under our care for three days without smoking cannabis. In this time, we could not demonstrate the classic signs of physiologic withdrawal, but then, perhaps, their inability to cooperate was in itself a symptom of withdrawal. The conclusions of that study were many, but the principal one was that we had failed to find evidence of toxicity for cannabis use. Similar dindings in CostarRica and Jamaica reassure us that our very observations were not spurious. Further studies of this nature were reported at the conference on chronic hashish use held in 1976 at the New York Academy of Sciences (volume 282). These are my experiences. I have lectured often on the problems of cannabis use, and I have come to believe that the greatest risk in my community from the use of cannabis is the risk of legal penalties and imprisonment. There is also a risk of other substance use, since the present distributors of cannabis are acting in defiance of the law, and they seem as willing to sell cocaine, and other abuse substances as to which legalized alcohol and medical risks -— and tobacco same on distribute opioids, sell cannabis. A society substances with well defined toxicity should legalize cannabis as well. For consistency, prescription of cannabis should be and alcohol; -— and accompanied by legalization of the latter proscription of tobacco two drugs should lead to the treatment for cannabis. There is no other rational position based the available evidence. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The citations are up to l9h6, so I estimate that by that time this use of the drug had ceased, reflecting the greater ease and safety of ECT. The volume "Convulsive Therapy? Theory and Practice" will appear after the first of the new year, from Raven Press in New York.

He exhibited skills of a well trained psychiatrist and assumed responsibilities for the patients and the projects then ongoing. He was interested and did a commendable Job. At the time however the V.A., in one of its periodic episodes of conscience, restricted the activity of all physicians who did not have a state license. Dr. Swanson found that his activities were so severely restricted that both he and I agreed that he would do better for his good to process licensure immediately. He correctly felt that the demands were excessive and returned to South Africa. that he worked very well, and that his skills were suitable to our needs. I regretted his decision and recommended his reappointment when and if he decided to return.

May 51”“ 5, 1978 Nancy K. Hello, Ph.D. McLean Hospital Belmont, Massachusetts Ref: Jovan Someon, Dear Nancy, Simeon to I am M.D. pleased to recommend the 'promotion' of Dr. Jovan of the ACNP. Member I have known of Jovan's work since 1965 when he came to at the Missouri Institute of Psychiatry. His early training was dedicated to the problems of adult psychopharmacology and he carried out numerous studies of the clinical and laboratory effects of compounds. His interests soon focussed on the problems of join me pediatric psychopharmacology and since 1970, his emphasis has been in the assessment of the effects of compounds in children. He has made some important methodologic additions to the usual assessment, defining the importance of videotape recording and analysis, and of the evoked potential in assessing drug effects. His recent interest has been in the effects of cromolyn sodium on hyperkinesis-— an innovative and novel approach to the problem of the definition and treatment of this commpn disorder. He has assumed responsibility for the clinical and research programs in pediatric psyuhopharmacology in Ottawa. In a recent visit to his center, I was impressed with the variety of studies underway, and the enthusiasm and training of his associates. His contributions to date are listed in his c.v.; his future contributions should be most helpful in this difficult and I recommend him highly for promotion area of psychopharmacology, to Membership status.

Ely 5, 1978 Neil B. Schofield, H.D. Flaker Drive Wykoff, N.J. o7u31 M16 Dear Dr. Schofield, The question of fractures after ECT has not been assessed recently. Neither in the Task Force Report nor in the many recent reviews, has the issue been raised. Perhaps. because the problem seems to have been solved by the introduction of succinylcholine. There are a number of studies assessing the impact of succinylcholine on practice, but these appeared soon after the first papers on the drug, about 1963. The ninth meeting of the Electroshock Research Association in 1953 discussed the effects in some deeail (Confinia Neurologica 132313 ff, 1953). Some reports are cited by Kalinowsky and Hippius, but these are not well documented. The best reports comparing modified and unmodified ECT are those of Havens (1958) and Huggins, Sandifer and Pearson (1969). I would start with those as the baseefor any studies now. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help, but the topic has not been covered recently. Good luck. Sincerely yours, Fink, H.D.

While I would consider the standard neuropsychological journals, I will suggest that you may want to place it in a journal dedicated to drug problems such as "Contemporary Drug Problems". The audience is the legal profession and those sophisticated drug research specialists who have an interest in behavioral variables. I have published in the journal on a number of occasions and know the editors, who would (I think) be interested in the review. (Laurence London, 2” West Terrace Road, Great Neck, NY and do believe 11021). I found the summaries of the studies well done and the report interesting. If I were to critique the Greek summary (since I know it best), it would be to indicate that we dedicated a lot more effort to the EEG testing and it was this component which complements the other brain tests in other studies. The translation of the EEG data is not too difficult—— we found that the resting BEG records of users and controls were the same; that the effects of cannabis, even in high doses, altered the EEG patterns transiently; that the patterns were similar to the effects of acute use in lower doses, but lasted longer. However, when the EEG records were examined after a few days of abstinence, no abnormalities or drug effects were left. In sum, cannabis produced a transient CNS effect (toxic psychdsis in a technical sense) whcih had no long lasting component. Similar to the psychologic tests. The very absence of the findings in our study, and in the other studies is the remarkable fact. Like the stony by Conan Doyle, the significance of the dog's not barking was the critical clue-- the absence of neurologic and neuropsychologic effects is the important clue. You could emphasize these more. Thanks for the chance to read the review. Good Sincerely yours, Max Pink, M.D. lucﬁ. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He He was neatly dressed principal complaints are emotional instability, depression, tension, working up to 18 hours a day, lack cf concentration, poor memory and inability to enjoy life. The symptoms have been present since early adolescence. At one time, he was classified as suffereing from hypothyroidism and took Cytomel for more than four years until a re-analysis found that he was no longer suffering from hypothyroidism His ' and no longer required the medication. Dr. Paz describes himself as a hard driving and exuberant is in his success rates in reducing death in cardiac resuscitation units, in maintining life for terminal patients and his stated work time of 33,500 hours during the three years of his training. (On calculation, this averages 214 hours a week or worker. His pride 30 hours a day).» His marriage to a pathologist and schoolmate ended recently in divorce, without children. He asserts that his wife failed to understand his drive or to encourage his need for success. has been under medication for a number of years for the of anxiety and tension. The range of compounds is extensive and he asserts that he has taken the medications at the recommended dosages. For the MAOI and diphenylhydantoin, the drugs that might be logically used in his condition, his dosages were adequate for He symptoms trials. principal quation is the suitability of BCT for his condition. In reviewing his symptoms, there is no insomnia, anorexia, weight loss, or dry mouth. Libido has been diminished byt his work activity has been maintained at a high level—- averaging 16-18 hours a day. He is of above average intelligence, critical in his perceptions, and exhibits a low score on the California F Scale (2n). The �"hp—www.— w. I have not received the history and other medical records at this time, the basis for the following recommendations is the history as presented by the patient without verifying documentation. As It is clear that he does not exhibit the principal symptoms of an endogenous depression; rather the syndrome seems more like a personality disorder of the obsessive—compulsive type. For a number of reasons-- the absence of endogenous features, the continued performance at work, the critical thought processes and the low California F Scale; the presence of anxiety and the investment that he has in memory functions, this patient is a poor candidate for HOT. The principal result would be an exaggeration of the memory complaints and no relief of symptoms. Indeed, it is quite likely that he will have more complaints. it While is clear that ECT is not indicated, it is not what clear measures would be more helpful. In talking to him, and reviewing the symptoms, I enquired as to the type of psychotherapy which hashes experienced. Is it possible that he may do better with an approach that follows the rea-ity npﬁels used by Sullivanian therapists ? I am struck by his drive and wonder whether his interests could not be harnessed for his welfare by discussions of the immediate problems in living and the realtion these problems have to his attitudes to his family and the expectations that they seem to have for him. » Thank you for the opportunity to see Dr. Paz. If the review of the records alters the recommendation, I will write again. Otherwise, please accept this opinion as definitive. Sincerely yours, ,Max Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry �/"‘%.

Institute Dear Paul, Thank you for the fine review of the relation between prolactin elevation and breast cancer. I found it thorough and rather disconcerting. During the past half year I have been working on the review of BCT which will be published later this year by Raven Press. In trying to assess the relative efficacy and safety of ECT and drugs in depression, mania and schizophrenia, I became more and more aware of the many risks that our patients run in taking medication. Now, I have added a citation to your review. On balance, it is clear that drugs are safer and more effective than ECT in schizophrenia and mania, but the issue is far from clear fer depressive disorders. In fact, if one had to write an opinion today, PCT is safer and more effective than any of the trecyclics. That is the reason I was so interested in the review of mianserin. In any case, thank you again. I am sure the review will meet the standards of the Archives and look forward to its publication. My regards. Sincerely yours, Max rm, 24.13.

East Hanover, N.J. Dear Ph.D. 07936 Gil, In 1971, when I first became acquainted with the pre-clinical data on mianserin, I found that the first human trial had been done in volunteers, and as part of a Ph.D. thesis, a young investigator had used the OFF procedure and had found a marked decrement in fusion threshold with low doses of mianserin. It was 13% data, more than any animal data, which led to the EEG trials and the finding that mianserin did, indeed, have a specific EEG profile. The rest is history. Since 1973. I have included OFF data in every EEG study. So far, using rather simple procedures, we have been impressed that CF? rates change in a dosearelated manner whenever we are studying active compounds. The mianserin data was published in our pharmacodynamic report in Psychopharmacology (2&z2h9-25h, 1977). We use a simple monocular fusion procedure with three determinations of the ascending and the descending flicker threshold, averaging the results of the six trials. I was impressed with your elegant procedure and would like to replicate it. I am confident that active drugs will show their effects on the more sensitive procedures, like CFF, if they affect brain function. However, the determination can only be gross for classification purposes, since discrdminations are only possible in two directions. But as another index for pharmacodynamic studies, we have been impressed. The mianserin report is not yet does for NIMH. The data are derived largely from the 1977 meeting on mianserin held in Amsterdam in October and published as a supplement to Brit. J. Clin. Pharm., supplement 1 to volume 5. My regards.

I very much enjoyed the oppdrtunity to get to know pdur work better and I do hope that you will continue your studies into ECT. It would be nice to work on a collaborative study program at the V.A. I have read your report on the elctrodes for ECT and an answering your request for comments. I am puzzled by the thrust of It describes the theoretical basis for the difficulties occasionally seen in the induction of seizures. Since most therapists are successful in inducing seizures without detailed attention to the issues that you describe, it is likely that these npoblems are of small magnitude in clinical practice. They are of considerable magnitude in research programs, particularly those which attempt to dissect the factors in the setsure which may be important. the paper. The recommendations on page ll are really research recommendations. Clinicians can safely ignore these details if they monitor the seizure. Ultimately, no clinician is going to be concerned with the details of the induction. He will be satisfied (as will you and I) that he has induced a therapeutic event. The simplest way of guaranteeing this is the use of a blood pressure cuff. The article is an excellent introduction to your research protocol and as the basis for understanding the differences in observations between different observers. I do not see it as a publishable paper in its present form without additional observations and data. Again, my thanks for your time. I hope you write the V.A. about the collaborative studies. Let me know what happens. 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.

I am writing this note now to tell you that, in principal, I am sympathetic to your project and.will do what I can to encourage you. But before I write a letter about the project, I really must know more about it. I already know about your ability (which is very high) but a letter in general terms can do little to help. In any case, to do the project Justice, I would like to discuss with you in Basle. We should have some time together,apdrticularly to discuss the nature of the work you propose. it ﬁbula it be possible to have an official request for a review of the proposal 7 In the U.S., we often send proposals to gg,hgg ’expert' reviewers for their opinions, particularly when committees may not have the necessary expertise to give the application a satisfaetory review. (I have done this often). The advantage of an official request would be that the reply would be confidential to the committee and would therefore be given much more weight in their deliberations. I look forward to seeing you in Basle. My best.

Wu sum—7:»: I have read the (dated 12/6/77) of the patient, file and reviewed the Hayden Harman. EEG record The EEG record is well done and includes alert, photic and stimulation hyperventilation sections. These show mell modulated dominant alpha activity of relatively low voltage. Slow frequencies are not prominent, nor are they stimulated by hyperventilation in undue amounts. I concur in hhe report by Dr. Scheinberg that this record does not show any abnormality inconsistent with the patient's age. We should note, however, that an important part of the EEG capability was not used, that of sleep recording. Numerous authors, notably Gibbs and his students, have repeatedly emphasized thp significance of such recording particularly in young patients in whom one is seeking evidence of dysrhythmia. rest of the file is replete with evidence of cerebral dysfunction, particularly the report of the observations by Dr. Ballweg. These data, combined with the behavior and the reports in the psychological tests (see particularly the figure drawn by the child) are evidence of dysfunction. Unfortunatley, it is not possible to determine from these data whether the dysfunction is episodic. The most conservative approach to problems of this dimension is the conbined pharmacologic~psychologic. The former provides The an opportunity to alter one may be fortunate in cerebral functions, and with proper manipulation, affecting the functions favorably. Two courses are available: a trial of an anticonvulsant, such as diphenylhydantoin (Dialantin) in doses up to 300 mg/day; or a psychostimulant, either methylphenidate (Ritalin) or dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine). I favor the use of methylphenydate as it has a better safety margin. The use of these drugs should be combined with sessions with the child and on occasion, with the parents, to assist in the adjustments necessary in helping a child whose �mm [Jp— n... ‘vw “r Dr. Melvin Muroff ........

If there is a choice in the sequence of drugs to be tried, would depend on the clinical findings as your best guide. Since you already have noted the similarity of this boy's problems to those seen in others helped by diphenylhydantoin, I would encourage its I trial first. If there is a special need to verify the possibility of dysrhythmia further, then a sleep EEG could be obtained. If the laboratory at Lawrence Hospital is reluctant to carry this out, I would suggest you enquire whether Dr. Fred Struve of the Hillside Hospital is willing to do the test for you. He is a Gibbs' student and one of the best analysts of clinical sleep EEG records in the region. The other is Dr. Eli Goldenson at the New York Neurological Institute. I trust these are helpful. for the success of this child'd treatment. comments My best wishes Sincerely yours, Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry Max � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since they differ. very much, I shall try to discuss each one separately. Overall, the reports are interesting case records and reflect the variety of the experiences at L-u -- indeed the wealth of case material is documents. The astonishing. ' study of temporal lobe psychomotor epilepsy masquerading as psychosis is quite good. Two of the‘ cases are convincing; two are fragments. As a case report, the introduction is inadequate. The EEG records need samples and the report of a neurological expert. There is a special issue, however, which cannot be answered retrospectively: the patients were receiving antipaychotic medication at the time the EEG records were taken. These compounds were in doses high enough to alter the EEG. How are we to separate the EEG effects of drugs from the natural effects of disease ? A case report, to be publishable today, should be a clear example of the problem, and should enlighten the reader under what conditions he may hope to find the same problem. The discussion fails to do this~~ it should explicate the symptoms that alerted you, and should alert others, to the significance of the EEG and the diagnosis (and treatment) of epilepsy. B! The ' to your comment that few reports are in the recent literature—- probably so, but that may be because the syndrome has passed into the textbooks. I suggest you read the writings of Dania Hill, Ajmoneonarsan, Gibbs, Gastaut, to name a few who have described these syndromes.

February 18, 1978 William R. Barclay, H.D. Editor, JAIA 535 North Dearborn Chicago, Illinois Street 60610 Dear Dr. Barclay, I have just read the February 6 and 13 issues of the writing to suggest that the senior editor, Dr. Z. Danilevicius, has done the readers a disservice in his selection of abstracts from the American Journal of Psychiatry (pg. 657, February Journal, and I an 13, 1978). In 1976, the American Psychiatric Association held a symposium on electroconvulsive therapy and invited an outspoken and brash critic, Dr. J. Friedherg to tpreeent a report. His report was shown to be dated and biased (see critique by Fred Frankel, Amer. J. Psychiat. laulelu-lOlQ, 1977). Indeed, the Editor of the American Journal of Psychiatry, Dr. F. Braceland initially rejected the article as unfit for publication. but agreed to publish the article in the context of the symposium. Yet, he added a disclaineu that the articles had not received the usual criticism. It is unfortunate the the readers of the JANA will read only the abstract of this biased and prejudiced report, without recognition of the critique of Dr. Frankel or the comments from the other reports. It was of some interest the same evening to read Dr. D.X. Freedman's review of the interesting issues of the immediate past and to see that he considered EC? to have some merit and that he cited the report by Dr. Frankel.

I suggested it about four years ago, and now that the Task Force of the APA has done all the work, it was useful to bring some of the clinicians together and review the data. It became clear as the days wore on that there is much that is known by the researchers about ECT, but that little of the information has percolated through to the practitioners or to the University professors who have interests outside of clinical studies. Papers by Salsman, Davis, Frankel, and Squire were particularly outstanding. Some of the analyses were newly done and commendable.

"W Ms. Carolyn Patient Care Lamb Darien, Connecticut Dear Ms. Lamb, Dr. Kaiser makes an important complaint; one that is shared by many other professionals, the-laity and the media. Are the presentations in the 197a New Yorker article with its emphasis on permanent brain damage, or the 1976 article in Psychology today which suggested that BCT 'burns the brain', or the image in "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" correct ? Does ECT cause permanent brain damage ? Dr. Kaiser also laments its unequal use in populations, its alleged overuse and abuse, and the thorny issues of consent. In raising these questions he is not alone, for since 1972 there have been numerous individual assessments of BCT, conferences and symposia, and at least three international task forces reviewing the questions. There are some answers. has been shown to be the most effective treatment for severe depressive illnesses and for catatonia. The results in these conditions are consistently better than alternate treatments. ECT is also useful in mania, but the comparisonnwith lithium therapy is lacking. In schizophrenia, the evidence is also clear, that ECT is no ECT better than pharmacotherapy, and should only be considered a secondary treatment. In the neuroses, adolescents and children, cases of psychopathy and addiction, ECT is of no value. As to safety, it is surely as safe and often more so than other treatments for the mentally ill. Suicide rates and death rates are consistently lower for ECT treated samples. The old complications of panic, fear, fracture need not occur under modern regimens. The principal complaint is still amnesia, but even this can be reduced markedly by the properttreatment which should include anesthesia, muscle relaxation, oxygenation, and proper attention to the use of minimal currents and unilateral non-dominant placement of electrodes. Under these conditions, the incidence of persistent amnesia should be less than 1/200 cases, and even when the complaint persists for some weeks, should be reversible within six months. �. -.- mt.w..ww. as". v... . ~— “when“...W‘WWWW—evv.mwv w.

Host physicians entered psychiatry in the last two decades received little training in HOT; and the older clinicians, many of whom learhed the techniques in the 1940's and early 1950's, may still be using techniques that are clearly outmoded. It is important that ECT training sessions There who be made a regular feature of medical review courses and that only physicians with recent experience be encouraged to use ECT. Contrary to Dr. Kaiser's opinion, BCT is a treatment of and the middle upper classes. In the APA survey and our own in New York City, we found that university private hospitals treated - “a," '(‘V'Y‘W‘mw’rlnmn _. ..._ - 2‘”1..q~,yn—gq w-r-wn-nu raw v.5 “PK-’1' my about 5% of their patients with ECT; private for profit hospitals, with middle and upper class clientele, about 30%; while public (minicipal, State and VA) hospitals used ECT in less than 1% of patients. If anything, the complaint should be that because of the expense of HOT, and the prevailing reimbursement policies, ECT is a treatment that is reserved to the insured and the self-payeing public. Consent is an important issue. There is little reason not to treat the voluntary hospitalized patient who is willing to be treated, after a reasonable explanation of the risks and benefits of the treatment. Also, there is no problem in NOT treating the voluntary patient who refuses ECT. The issue in involuntary patients is more complex and I would refer the reader to the APA Task Force report for a better discussion of the issues and the recommendations. of the technical questions would require a text—book or manual, and I am pleased to tell him that two excellent manuals are in press, and should be available by the end of the year (see below). The remainder ung- '1 nnmpmrw WWI-tn. 1'4"”!- is "WI-Urn _ Dr. Kaiser is to be commended for raising the question. He fortunate to do so at a time when the assessments have been made and are available. He should also know that the mode of action of BCT has received much intensive study, and that so much is known about the process, that it is likely that a biochemical equivalent of the BCT process should beiin the clinic before the end of this decade.

On each of these occasions, I learned much and was impressed with his knowledge of brain function and memory. When asked fer recommendations for a panel being organized NIMH assess the status of ECT, I recommended Larry and he becamebya paneltomember. Later, when asked to recommend a scientific consultant to the Task Force on Convulsive Therapy of the American Psychiatric Association, I again recommended Larry. In both positions I have worked with him, and shared the task of assessing the effects of seizures on brain function. wwwuum'w .n . a: “vuwum Tm."

While most of his emphasis in the past few years has been in the EC? process, I think his interest is broader, in the memory process itself. To this end, he has undertaken studies of amnesia fellowing surgery, trauma, and in systematic studies in animal experiments. His work has consistently been well designed, carefully done, statistically sound, and with the most reasonable controls. His evaluation of the differences between unilateral and bilateral ECT are among the most compelling new data in this field, and his assessment was an important feature of the recommendation by the APA Task Force that unilateral ECT be considered the primary mode of treatment in depressive illnesses. I believe his work to be sound. skill to deal He has shown the necessary attracted bright young clinicians, researchers to his laboratory. My assessment is best expressed by the fact that when the Long Island Research Institute, a research arm of this Department of Psychiatry, was seeking young talent fer its staff, I recommended him highly and sought him out. Unfortunathly, Long Island did not seem as attractive as Southern California. Nevertheless, my offer remains. with and he has His work at the APA TAsk Force and the NIHH evaluation to have good political skills.

While he is young in years (37), his experience since his doctorate (1968), and his record of publications and presentations support the recommendation for his appointment as an Associate Professor.
