Alfred Freedman has been a remarkable leader in American and world psychiatry- thoughtful, liberal, productive. It was his vision that launched the Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry and its many offshoots. He launched this journal, and although it has not made a big impact, its issues are among the most thoughtful in our profession. The closest relative in my ken is the Behavioral 6c Brain Sciences (Cambridge University Press) edited by Steven Harnad of Princeton. Alfred is retiring, but remains active and enthusiastic. He probably needs a project to keep his interests high during his retirment, and the journal may be a useful vehicle. I know that some exploration has been done by Raven Press, and perhaps the issue is moot. Nevertheless, lam bringing it to your attention again. Alfred is a connection to the 'political' leaders (vis a vis the 'scientific') of the world of psychiatry. That may be of some merit. My best regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD. Editor P.S. Martha and I very much enjoyed your visit. Carol's suggestion led us to get the electrician in and, among other changes, the face plate for the light switches is level. And, I did not get to Munich after all; my mother fell and fractured her hip; the surgery and hospitalization kept me here. She is progressing nicely now, but the timing was inopportune. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

KRAMER to the rank of Associate Professor of Psychiatry. I have known Barry since his tenure at Hillside Hospital when he was interested in electroconvulsive therapy and we developed a collaborative research protocol. He left for California in i9 82, as we were completing our protocol, and we sought to develop the project at USC but that was not feasible. We have collaborated on a number of reports since then. His survey of the usage of ECT in California is an important historical and social document, often quoted. He also carried out a survey of the use of ECT as a maintenance treatment, and published a fine report last year. He participated in a number of programs with me at national society meetings. Barry is a well trained psychiatrist, with a keen appreciation of the role of ECT in clinical practice. He has made significant contributions to convulsive therapy research and his publications are well regarded. recognize Barry as a dedicated, responsible, and excellent clinician. He is friendly, interested, and enthusiastic about his work. He is a dedicated parent. Barry is an established clinical teacher. His presentations are clear and well thought out. I He clearly meets the standards for promotion at this University, and i would heartily endorse his promotion. As for the question of tenure at this University, it is not possible to make such a judgement since tenure is reserved for full-time faculty. if Barry were a faculty member on a full-time basis, I believe we would recommend his promotion with tenure, although there may be a question regarding the absence of laboratory investigations in an aspect of neuroscience in his record. Such evidence seems now to be the standard in our department.

New York State Psychiatric Institute 722 West 168 Street New York City 10032 Dear Joe, vu, all over again! Yes, I do remember our little diagnostic experiments, and I must say that our experience has influenced me all my life. In our Hillside days, we learned that diagnosis was not particularly useful when we were asked to treat patients, since from time to time, the obviously 'wrong' treatment seems to have been useful. Our random assignment imipramine, chlorpromazine and placebo studies laid the groundwork for the studies of imipramine in phobic disorders, for example. De}_a_' In the 19703, when the APA committee under Bob Spitzer was devising the Chinese menu diagnostic scheme, I argued for consideration of biological present (at the time, mainly the sedation threshold and the nascent neuroendocrine tests) and treatment results as cutting tools, arguing that the main advances in syphilis came about only after the Wasserman test was devised. Such views were disregarded as 'premature'. From time to time I am asked to consult on complex cases, and usually I discard the diagnoses presented in favor of any diagnosis for which a treatment exists. A few weeks ago, I was sent a 25 year old man, ostensibly with schizophrenia (2 consultants agreed), with the statement that BC!" was clearly useless in schizophrenia and therefore neither psychiatrist would treat the boy. This despite the record that 4 years earlier he had responded well, albeit for 13 months! We have since treated him and he is doing nicely. . Another case is that of a 56 year old confused and apathetic woman who was diagnosed as Alzheimer disease, confirmed by a neurologist, and again by a second opinion; consigned to a nursing home for 5 years. She was referred to University Hospital because of a medical condition. When she was on our medical service, our consulting team thought she was depressed. She was referred to our team, and we could not agree on a psychiatric diagnosis; but since the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease was untreatable, we suggested to the husband that since she looked depressed there was the option of a course of ECT, which could make her a little worse for a while, but if it worked . . . It did, and she has now been at her own home for more than 3 years. (When she returned home, she could not believe that her daughters were her own, for she had the Rip van Winkle syndrome, believing that her daughters were five years younger.) �Dr. Joseph Jaffe Page 2 Another more recent case is that of a 25 year old married mother with a history of lupus erythematosus, admitted in manic excitement, treated with haloperidol, and seen the next day in a catatonic state. Internists believed she had lupus cerebritis with epilepsy continua, and they tried various voodoo treatments including high doses of antiepileptic medications; the psychiatrist laid on the benzodiazeplnes (he feared antipsychotics as neurotoxic). The patient was incidentally presented to my ECT training class and after some discussion, I argued that ECT was the preferred treatment regardless of her diagnosis (lupus cerebritis or NMS or epilepsia continua) since her main symptom was catatonia. Four weeks later she was finally sent for ECT when her catatonia became the aggressive variety and she required continuous restraints. Four weeks of ECT, and she is now home, alert and well. - 0! course, not all such agnostic diagnoses work as well as these did; but it only takes one such diagnosis every so often to convince me that our present disgnostic schemes in psychiatry, especially the Chinese menu approach of your institute, is Rorschach testing in real life; and that more is in the eye of the beholder than in the face of the object, despite the professional belief in their objectivity. _ ' ' Yes, i remember those experiments very well, and often tell my students about them. Perhaps we should do the experiment over and publish the results in the American Journal of Psychiatry? (Under pseudonyms, of course.) Thanks for the very pleasant reminder. My best regards.

Erwin, M.D. Duke University Medical Center Durham, North Carolina 27710 Dear Dr. Erwin, I am pleased to submit this letter in support of the promotion of Dr. C. EDWARD COFFEY to the rank of Associate Professor (Psychiatry). 1 have known Ed for about three years, initially through his research writings in convulsive therapy, then as a contributor and reviewer for CONVULSIVE THERAPY, and lately as a member of the journal's Editorial Board. I have observed Ed present ‘ reports at many meetings, and have read many of his reports, not only those submitted to our journal, but to many other journals as well. Ed is a well trained neurologist and psychiatrist, one of a few young academic psychiatrists who has completed formal neurologic training. While it was customaryfor trainees in my generation with an interest in an academic career to complete neurologic training, it is (unfortunately) much less common today, and such experience has contributed materially to Ed's writings and teaching. He clearly has the opportunity to become a leader in the rediscovered discipline of ‘neuropsychiatry'. When I read his c.v., i discovered that he was a Rhodes Scholar. It did not surprise me, for despite his youth 1 already thought of him as an acknowledged expert in ECT and brain imaging, to name two aspects of his research interest. Ed has published more than 35 good scientific articles on MRI scans, EC‘l’, and neuropsychiatric topics. His studies of the effects of caffeine in lengthening seizure duration in ECT are the main citations in an active field. Lately, he has focussed on MRI imaging in elderly depressives, and I believe he is making useful contributions to that preliminary and complex literature. He is among a small band of young, articulate, and enthusiastic researchers in clinical psychiatry. I recognize him as a dedicated and responsible researcher and excellent clinician. He is friendly, warm, genteel, interested, and enthusiastic about his work. He lectures well, and responds to questions with a relaxed and softspoken demeanor. He is an established independent researcher and teacher. He meets the standards for promotion at this University and I recommend him for promotion with much enthusiasm and without reservation. I also would support a recommendation for tenure.

Turan and I presented our work at the international Pharmaco-EEG meetings in Kobe, Japan. He did well and he has many loyal students who attended the sesssions reliably and enthusiastically. My own impression (it was my first trip to Japan) was that I had never seen such a fine organization nor were my questions answered so quickly and so well in more than 35 years of attending national and international meetings. Our hosts were most solicitous and the meetings were quite good. Martha and l travelled about, from Kobe to Osaka/Kyoto/Nara by trains, finding them prompt, efficient and generally clean. Language was no problem, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. lam sorry to have missed the program in New York. My trip to the Netherlands (seven lectures at seven universities in five days) was an educational success, mainly because I learned much about the politics of medical care in a socialized society.

Your article in yesterday's New York Times expressed what we feel, ashamed and uneasy, on hearing and seeing the anti-liberal, NO—NOTHING, anti-American attitudes of Mr. Bush and his accomplices. i did think the American people were stupid when they elected Mr. Reagan, and when they did it again, it was a disaster. But the blatant anti-liberal, anti—black, pro-Redneck, flag-waving, anti-abortion, and anti-environmental blandishments of the Republicans far exceeds even the excesses of the sleazy government which Mr. Reagan brought to Washington. Your article is important and you are to be congratulated, and thanked, by all of us 'liberals' who see the U.S. Constitution as the main hope of mankind in this crazy world. Keep it up.

The topic deserves the study that it is now getting. Perhaps I over-reacted to the Post slides, but is it not a reflection on our practice when a leader of what is presumably the most prestigious, expensive, and over-funded psychiatric research venture in the [1.5. unashamedly tells a public audience that he subjects his patients to one experimental regimen after another, month after month, year after year, without prior attempts at an effective treatment? is that not a sign of hubris? I cannot imagine a similar scenario at The Arbour or at University Hospital (or at McLean, or Payne Whitney, or the many other fine clinical/ research centers in the U.S.) In any case, the My article by Kroessler is enclosed. best regards.

We Protocol: Dr. Gangadhar has been a regular contributor to CONVULSIVE THERAPY and he had informed me that he was planning to study in Vienna. I read the proposal and it is consistent with our present knowledge and experience. There are a few points that you may wish to consider. A study focussed on a defined course of 6 ECT argues that about 1/3 or of the subjects will be inadequately treated at that measurement. Whatever more benefits ECT may provide, may yet develop with more treatment. it may be better science to design the study so that that the ratings of depression reach an arbitrary (though low) value as the time at which the prolactin measures are re-examined. Prolactin release is influenced by electrode placement, amount of energy (threshold or supra-threshold), type of current (sinusoidal or brief—pulse), and sex and age of the subject. One problem with the Siemens Konvulsator is that it delivers variable amounts of energy. Some attention should be paid to these variables in the design of the study. While the study is of temporal interest, a more illuminating study of dopaminergic phenemona in ECT might be one of patients with parkinson disease and depression. Suggest that Dr. Gangadhar read CONVULSIVE THERAPY g: 321327 (Fochtmann) and 3: 189—191 (Fink). Hypothesis: As for the other questions, I enclose a copy of a report which I have just sent to the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, and’which is under editorial review. It is the latest version of the neuroendocrine hypothesis of ECT. . "W wwwt‘ �Dr. Greta Koinig December 21, 1988 Training: We do not have a formal ECT training program for our psychiatric residents. in the first year, they receive lectures on affective disorders and the treatments available; about 3 hours are devoted to ECT. In their second year, while on the in-patient service, they spend two months on the 'ECT Team', managing every case referred for ECT. On average,’they manage about 8-12 cases. ECT is also discussed in the weekly attending case rounds. Finally, selected residents may do research in ECT duing their elective period (fourth year) for periods up to six months. We average one resident each year. in addition, we have organized a formal hands-on' training in ECT. A description is enclosed. The next course is sceduled for the week of March 6, 1989. lPAAE: The details of the lPAAE are enclosed. (The society is changing its name to The Association for Convulsive Therapy (ACTH. ECT DATABASE: Citation searches for tapics in ECT are available to subscribers and contributors to CONVULSIVE THERAPY, by request addressed to my office. There is no formal citation list that is made up periodically; each issue of CONVULSIVE THERAPY contains the citations included in the database in the previous quarter. There are numerous ways to reach me. Using the University BITNET system, my address'is MFINKQSBCCMAIL.BITNET. For FAX, my temporary number is 516- 862 8604 (although this will change in about a month). My home number is 516-862 6651. i am delighted that there is a resurgence in interest in ECT in Vienna. i have been gratified by the continuing acceptance of ECT and CONVULSIVE THERAPY; its portrayal as a reasonable treatment; the greater investment in training and improved facilities; and the greater attendance and interest in ECT at conferences and meetings. The main thrust today is no longer the acceptance of ECT, nor its indications, nor the technical details of currents and electrode placements, but in its mode of action. Hopefully, this interest will improve our understanding of both the treatment and the pathOphysiology of affective disorders. 1989. i trust these responses are helpful.

Our first class of four psychiatrists and two nurses went through the course in February, and we have scheduled a second course the week of May 16. A description of the course is enclosed. The fee for psychiatrists is $1,500. , » On occasion, we have had fellows attend our service for periods of up to two months, and would be willing to do so again. in addition to our active ECT teaching and treatment programs, our research programs in ECT include: ECT and Antipsychotic drugs in Patients with Positive-Symptom Psychosis (Schizophrenia). Comparison of etomidate and methohexital anesthesia: Influence on seizure ' ' , duration. Pentylenetetrazol vs Caffeine in Altering Seizure Duration. Electrophysiology of seizures: Comparison of Brief pulse, Sinusoidal currents, and Pentylenetetrazol enhanced seizures. Relations between Neuropsychological changes and the duration of isoelectric EEG period after seizures. Effect of ECS and antipsychotic drugs on blood brain barrier. Effect of ECS on brain catecholamines in animals with learned helplessness. Finally, wt edit the journal CONVULSIVE THERAPY and manage the CONVULSIVE THERAPY DATABASE from these offices.

I have been there twice, about six and two years ago. It is a good campus, and seemed to have well qualified students. I was not impressed with the research interest, since my hosts impressed me that they were busy earning their salaries through their practice plan. But if anyone can shake the establishment and raise the academic sights, I am sure that you can. I When I was a boy, I camped often on Lake George, and canoed Champlain. Indeed, was camping on Lake George on June 6, 19M (ID-Day) and can still recall I the thrill of our fishing the next few days, with the optimism that the war would now soon come to an end. In the early 1970s, we usually rented a camp for a month on Raquette Lake. You will surely like the fishing in the Adirondack streams and lakes. ’ I do hope that you get the position if that is what you want. Is there anything else lcan do for NNérBN? lam not too surprised that the reviewers didn't accept the pharmaco-EEG article. The question, whether there is anything more than noise in the waking EEG, remains an interesting one, particularly since the technical issues of recording and analysis have been solved so handsomely. Now that the ECT issues are fairly cut and dried, I have decided to take time off the second half of the year and write a book on Brain and Behavior: Pharmaco-EEG Revisited. I will emphasize theory, much as I did with Convulsive Therapy. If Iam successful, we should be able to get reviewers of NNchN to look at the article with a fresh eye a year hence. My best regards.

Physiology 6: Biophysics Given Building University of Vermont School of Medicine Burlington, VT 05305 Dear Dr. Alpert, lam pleased to submit this letter of recommendation on behalf of Professor Michael A. Taylor, who is being considered for the position of chairman of the Department of Psychiatry. He is ably qualified and fully capable of accepting the responsibilities outlined in the job description sent to me. I have known Mickey Taylor for more than two decades, since his residency training at the New York Medical College. Among a group of excellent students, he was outstanding, an independent thinker, and a careful worker. Taking an idea from a single report from Michigan, he examined the incidence of male and female offspring born to psychotic mothers in the State hospitals in New York, mothers who were psychotic at the time of conception. He. found a higher incidence of female infants born to such mothers.'He then examined the impact that medication may have had on the gender advantage for female infants. Such innovative studies were awarded the prestigious A.E.Bennett award of the Society of Biological Psychiatry. «v- -.. awn—— Jw-n-‘vvnw- w" "w."— 1' V'v w-pv-r w- I'm-m.- .n-w- Wl‘lwm'u-r‘ ,«ulw—AAWV'MWlewerv-qwlr'Wl-"I vs , After a tour in the U.S. Navy, where he also published clinical research studies, he returned to join our faculty at Stony Brook. He took over a routine state hospital ward without a single distinguishing or redeeming feature. Within a year, it became an outstanding study and research unit, indeed, the premier unit of the many at the hospital. He was rapidly promoted to Associate Professor and was under consideration for promotion to Professor when he was invited to the chair in Chicago where he became Professor and Chairman. in research, Mickey is an outstanding clinician and phenomemlogist. 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 neuropsychological 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 Neuropsychiatric Mental Status Examination and General Hospital Psychiatry are innovative and important texts, widely used in teaching psychiatric residents. He is an outstanding lecturer. - �Michael A. Taylor, MD. University of Vermont Page 2 Based on his record of contributions in neuroscience and neuropsychology, he was invited to become the founding editor of a new scientific journal, "Neuropsychology, Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology”, published by Raven Press of New York. His administrative abilities are also excellent. i watched the development of the teaching unit at the Central lsiip Psychiatric Center. I have visited his units in Chicago, where he not only has developed a productive Department of Psychiatry, but established such fine relationships with the Department of Psychology that i believe he has been acting chairman for an interim period. And, I am 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. Mickey is an avid fisherman, and lam confident that the waters of Lake Champlain and the many lakes of the Adirondack Mountains will be a positive attraction. i hope that you can attract a man of his experience and talent. Good 1 luck. - 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.

It is then that instrument rating looks so good. had searched the ECT Database for citations to EEG and culled the attached list as those that seemed most relevant. Interest in EEG studies has reawakened as we have become more interested in the definition of an 'adequate’ or i 'therapeutic' seizure. Two other topics have surfaced. Are focal or lateralized post-ECT findings related to treatment outcome; and do focal or asymmetric records predict a good or a bad outcome with treatment. There is an international association, not well known in this country, that meets every two years to discuss quantitative EEG and psychopharmacology. They occasionally have papers on ECT, but the main benefit of the group is their interest in the problems of quantification. Your 1986 report in Biological Psychiatry is clearly within the interest of the group. The IPEG (International Pharmaco-EEG Group) meets later this year (September 28-October 1) in Kobe, Japan. Please re-schedule your trip. Weather in May is always better; I did my New York to San Francisco flight in a Cessna 172 in May. My regards.

Sincerely yours, Max Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry �April 7, 1988 David Kroessler, M.D. Department of Psychiatry Rhode Island Hospital Providence, RI 02903 Dear David, I know of no special foundation grants in electroconvulsive therapy. From time to time, we have been able to get special funding for a seminar or a colloquium at a meeting from some of the ECT companies or a few small foundations. But felloewship money sufficient to allow someone like yourself to develop an academic career has generally come from the National Institute of Mental Health. ' There has been an announcement of a new career fellowship program for medical graduates who have less than five years of post-residency experience. You may qualify and should consider applying. One applicant called me and asked whether I would agree to having him study here for a training period of one to two months, and I agreed. If you wish to arrange such a training program, I will do what I can to make the arrangements at those centers that may be of interest to you. As for project grants, these come exclusively from NIMH. There is a fund at Veterans Administration hospitals which allows investigators to get special funds ($25,000) and then to apply through a special VA funding program. start-up The work here is going well. We have started a five-day CME 'hands-on' training program in ECT. The first class went through in February; we are scheduling the second for the week of May 16. Our research projects are running well and we have a steady output of papers. Larry has taken over the ln-patient service; Krish Gujavarty is moving to the V.A. I append a list of our active ECT projects for your information. Tell Barry that I included a review of his book (which I like very much) in the next issue of CONVULSIVE THERAPY. My best regards.

Purpura, M.D., Dean Albert Einstein College of Medicine 1300 Morris Park Avenue Bronx, New York 10461 Dear Dr. Purpura, I am puzzled by your letter of May 31, asking for an additional assessment of Dr. Gregory Asnis' qualifications. 1 will do what Team. The request is to 'expound on how much time and originality he contributed to these articles . . '. Dr. Asnis came to my laboratory fresh out of his residency at the Mount Sinai Hospital, where he had undertaken independent case material studies, sufficient to receive the annual award for the best 'resident' presentation. Our first published study (his {I 5) was a survey of the use of ECT in metropolitan hospitals. The study was undertaken at my request. Sue Saferstein was a third year medical student, and Greg Asnis was her supervisor in the study. The commission came from the APA Task Force on Electroconvulsive Therapy. My recollection is that I developed the design of the study; Greg and Sue Saferstein carried it out, and wrote the initial reports; and that I edited the final report. I do not think that Greg was interested in ECT thereafter. The second study (his #9) was an outgrowth of an interest in abnormal motor movements. Both Ed Sachar and Herb Meltzer had shown that active antipsychotic drugs elevated serum prolactin. I cannot recall whether the idea of a study came from Greg or another of our team, but my main contribution was to develop the relationship with Ed Sachar, obtain his agreement to undertake the assays, and make one trip to Columbia University to meet Mrs. Halpern, the technician who carried out the assays. Greg left Stony Brook after the samples were collected and the patient' status defined. The report was written at Columbia University, and I received a penultimate copy for my advice. Ido not recall making a contribution to the analyses, nor do I know what processing went on at Columbia University. Greg's experience at Stony Brook was marked by our unsuccessful attempt to organize a research unit at Central lslip Psychiatric Center. I was given that mission by Stanley Yolles, and it was a frustrating and unhappy experience. Because we could not provide a satisfactory site for research, I urged Greg to go to Ed Sachar (and I moved my research to the V.A.). That is one reason why his two years with us appears so unproductive in his record.

Freedman for the 19 88 McAlpin Mental Health Research Achievement Award. Few psychiatrists have done as much for the education and training of psychiatric professionals, have encouraged such useful and important academic research, and have provided leadership for the nation’s major scientific societies as has Dr. Freedman. His formal academic curriculum vitae is attached, but I would like to highlight a few aspects of his record which encourage me to make this nomination. Formally, Dr. Freedman was certified in psychiatry and psychoanalysis his after graduation from the University of Minnesota Medical School in 1942. He assumed the chairmanship of the Department of Psychiatry at the New York Medical College in 1960, and created an outstanding research and teaching center. His major contributions in academic research are in the treatment of opiate dependence with narcotic antagonists and long-acting opioids; and in his studies of the effects of psychoactive substances on brain functions. joined him as a member of the faculty of the New York Medical College in 1966. At the time, opioid addiction had surfaced as a national problem. Few psychiatrists were willing to undertake the treatment of those afflicted with drug addiction, yet he established the first municipal hospital treatment unit for drug dependence. He supported two separate research programs in addiction, one based on sociological models (under Richard Brotman) and another, based on biological models of narcotic antagonism. His program developed the merits of naloxone, cyclazocine, and naltrexone as treatments for opiate dependence; and broadened the applications of methadone and ievo—acetyimethadyl as narcotic substitutes. He encouraged the collaborative study of chronic hashish users in Athens; and began studies of the central effects of cocaine, when cocaine use was a rare and i occasional dependence. addition to developing a Department and teaching programs for medical students and residents, and encouraging the research studies, he found time to edit the definitive Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, which is now used worldwide. ile also founded and edits the journal integrative Psychiatry. In �Nomination of Alfred M. Freedman, MJ). Page 2 in his residency training programs, he recognized the special needs of women physicians, and he developed the first post~graduate training program for women psychiatrists. lie established a Day-Hospital program for the severe mentally ill; and has always maintained relationships with many community hospitals for the education of their personnel. (i believe that the present program is affiliated with 14 community hospitals). in his support of the studies of is not well known in this which pharmaco-electroencephaiography, a discipline And in his willingness in 1968 to and Japan. country, but well established in Europe when the treatment was outside support studies of convulsive therapy -- at a time the main stream of psychiatric practice and research. That encouragement led his student, Richard Abrams and myself, to become international leaders and authors in ECT. The diversity of his interests is to be seen His reputation in research led to his election as President of the American College of Psychopharmacoiogy 0972), President of the American Psychopathological Association (1971). in 1973, he was elecred President of the American Psychiatric Association. Dr. Freedman has an enviable record of participation and interest in international psychiatry. He invited leaders from foreign countries to visit the Department and lecture, in the Goldman lecture series that began in the early 19605. He has been an active member of international psychiatric associations and is well known as lecturer, teacher, and friend throughout the psychiatric world, not only in Western countries, but in many developing countries as well. Al has received many awards and much recognition for his leadership, humanity, and support of academic principles in research and teaching. He is a warm, friendly, and encouraging man, with friends throughout the world. His wife, Marcia is a Professor at Columbia University, and both their sons have enviable academic records. Considering the long list of outstanding recipients of the McAlpin Award, am proud to recommend your consideration to add his name to this list. i have discussed this nomination with him, and he has agreed to be considered for the award, and to attend the symposium in Los Angeies in September. His current address and telephone numbers are listed in his 9.x; Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, (V‘ax Fink, 649,-).

V V, .,, 1 T m V'mfi'm—VV'WM-rwr‘ Dear John, w: Congratulations on your appointment as Chairman of Psychiatry at LIJH. It is a particular pleasure to know that the hospital has sought a researcher as its leader, and to join with other graduates of Hillside‘s training programs in wishing you a fruitful tenure of leadership. , It was 30 years ago that Israel Strauss, Joseph S. A. Miller, and the Medical Board of Hillside Hospital endorsed their research aims by creating a full time position of Research Director. When Don Klein and my co-workers in the Department of Experimental Psychiatry (that was the fashionable term in those days, much like Division of Neuroscience would be today) wrote a review of our activities for the Journal 9__f the Hillside Hospital in l96l, we not only looked back at our accomplishments, but sought to direct the Board's eyes forward by calling for a 200 bed clinical research center. We saw something specialin Hillside. Perhaps it was ambitious, but we were encouraged by the dramatic gains of the psychopharmacologic drug revolution, the nation was in an expansive mood (preViet-Nam, pre-Kennedy/Johnson),and we thought the cure of mental illness was in our grasp. In the interim decades, the leadership of the hospital seemed too concerned with fiscal and operational matters to fully utilize its outstanding research opportunities. Your success in building on Don's programs has given you the unique opportunity to realize even more of the potential in Hillside's patients, staff, and history. it is a fine opportunity, and the staff at Long Island Jewish Hospital and the community it serves are to be congratulated in their selection. My congatulations on your appointment; and my best regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

V rue wan w- sump“..- - V - January 28, 1988 Mrs. Edward M. Bigler #0 Doubling Road Greenwich, CT 06380 Dear Mrs. Bigler, Thank you for your request that I participate in the Phil Donahue show. Beginning with the appearance of the New Yorker article by Berton Rouche "As Empty as Eve' in 1974, and my subsequent work with the APA Task Force on Electroconvulsive Therapy, 1 have actively assessed the merits and limitations of the ECT process. What may have been a debate in the 19703, as to the merits of the treatment, has been resolved by the many assessments by individuals and international commissions and committees, culminating in the 1985 NIH Consensus Conference. The question of ECT efficacy is resolved. Until a more effective and safer treatment for the serious mentally ill is devised and tested, ECT remains a useful and needed treatment. That is not a matter of public debate, either by the Phil Donahues or the Opreh Winfreys of the entertainment world. Indeed, the acceptance by laymen that there is a 'debate‘ on efficacy and into the hands of the anti-psychiatry lobby. There is no more reason plays safety for a debate by the laity on TV or radio of the merits of ECT than it would be reasonable for a debate on the merits of insulin in diabetes or penicillin in neurosyphilis or any other technical medical therapy. In the face of the anti-psychiatry lobby, there is a need for public education, but in proper fora. For that reason, my associates and I were responsive to the requests by Susan Squire for an opportunity to meet treated patients before she wrote the November 22, 1987 article in the New York Times Magazine; and why we have been cooperative with the PBS/BBC producers of the series MIND, to appear later this year. We continue to seek to improve the delivery of mental health services, and my present missions support this aim for ECT. I wrote my review of ECT in 1979, launched the journal CONVULSIVE THERAPY in 1985, and have developed a training program in ECT at SUNY at Stony Brook in the past year. But I will not cooperate with a 'show', surely not one of the kind produced by Phil Donahue under the guise of a 'debate‘ or a 'balanced‘ presentation. But if I can help you present the facts of EC‘I‘ history and present practice in educational venues, please call on me. I enclose articles that may be of interest, as well as a description of CONVULSIVE THERAPY.

The book was published in 1979. Peter Breggin has taken the position that the treatment is both ineffective and dangerous. His position is considered idiosyncratic. The treatment is used widely throughout the world, and is available to patients in this county at University Hospital as well as private and public psychiatric hospitals. Patients and families who may be considering the treatment are likely to look to your resources for advice and help. It is unfortunate that this volume may be considered timely, when in fact, it is out-dated. in 1985, the NIH held a Consensus Development Conference on this topic. Peter Breggin was one of many witnesses. The Consensus commission did not accept his views of the treatment and recommended its continued use. Alternatively, the library may consider making the book "Electroconvulsive Therapy" published by the American Psychiatric Association (1400 K Street, N.W., Washington D.C. 20005) equally available. That report appeared in 1978. I enclose a copy of the Consensus Conference statement. Perhaps it would be a service to your readers to append the report to Peter Breggin's book?

"s-‘ww --7 January 28, i9 88 ‘ Mark Abramowicz, M.D. The Medical Letter New Rochelle, NY Dear Dr. Abramowicz, i am disappointed with present methods of psychoactive drug evaluation. The debacles in assessment which are cited in the article on fluoxetine are matched by the over-investment in the use of benzodiazepines as antidepressants. The present methods of contract assessment in out-patients, with inadequate monitoring of the case material or the 'blindness' of the assessors; the inflation of rating scale data to suggest that individuals can be working with Hamilton Depression Scores above 22; the very high fees paid assessor groups (up to $2500/patient); the failure to consider the likelihood that practitioners do know when the patients begin a new medication and therefore know when to inflate and deflate scores; and the lack of placebo controls all serve to make modern assessments of efficacy of antidepressant and anti-anxiety agents highly suspicious. - While I have not worked with this compound, 1 would still caution readers more strongly -- " Until effective in-patient trials of fluoxetine against placebo and active antidepressants are published in indeprendent review journals, the responsible physician will use these compounds only in patients properly cautioned that the results are tenuous and that the treatment must be seen as experimental."

Department of Psychiatry UCIMC City Drive 5., Route 88 Orange, CA 92668 101 Dear Ms. Trudeau, We treat ECT patients at University Hospital on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 0800. You may wish to come the afternoon before and meet the patients and their relatives (visiting hours are from 2 to 4 p.m.). Patients are usually cooperative for interviews. We recently entertained the BBC/PBS crew for the series “MIND", and they filmed patient interviews and treatment sequenceswith patient and family consent, of course. The campus is 55 miles from mid-Manhattan, due east on Long Island. It is best to come into Long Island MacArthur (lslip) airport, if that is feasible; it is a short taxi ride to our community. If you come to JFK or LAG, Winston Limousine service (800 942 l+222) or Colonial Taxi (800 832 7878) generally give the best flat rate service to our area. It you plan to stay over, the best accommodations are at the Three Village Inn (516 751 0555) in Stony" Brook. There is one *** restaurant in our village (Mirabelle). The next issue of CONVULSIVE THERAPY is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the introduction of ECT. Among the articles is a translation of the eye-witness account of the first ECT treatments by Ferdinando Accornero, an active participant in the research studies at the University of Rome. The article was published in Italian in 1950; I have had it translated and I enclose a copy of the proof. (The account is verified by another participant in the research in Rome, Lothar Kalinowsky of New York.) I look forward to your visit to Stony Brook. My regards.

I have used the system, following your suggestions. It is a useful system for citation retrieval, and easy to learn. I was able to use the search strategy and to enter new citations. In each activity, the program performed well. After some thought, i find that I cannot adopt the system .for my use; mainly because my investment in SCIMATE is so great, making it uneconomic for me to convert all my files to the new system.

On my return, I read the letter by Lieber on the "Treatment of Rapid Cycling Bipolar Patients"in the latest issue of the 5.13. The letter recommends complex polypharmacy as a treatment of therapy resistant depression. But the letter gives no data as to patient characteristics, history, in-patient or out-patient status, assessment of efficacy of treatments, trials with established treatments, Egg. The letter seems to be a throwback to the old—fashioned testimonial which modern psychopharmacology eschews. letter is published in the Journal, it suggests that the practice has review standards of the Journal and the Association. Do spontaneous met peer in response to an article'in the Journal, meet the peersubmitted letters, not review standards of Journal articles? Was this letter reviewed by any of the acknowledged psychopharmacologistsof the Board of Editors? If yes, is there a message in the letter that our attitude to polypharmacy should change? As the if no, would you consider soliciting letters to argue against the adoption of the Lieber recommendations until they have met established standards of study for efficacy and safety? a fact of practice, as we often read in the which records come our way, polypharmacy is not generally condoned malpractice by our experience or by our science. is the publication of this letter not a regrettable mis-step?

Poppers, M.D. Department of Anesthesiology at Stony Brook Long Island, New York 1.1794 SUNY Dear Paul, I am pleased to submit this letter in support of the promotion of Dr. FARROKH R. MENEKSHA from the rank of Clinical Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology to Clinical Associate Professor. 1 have worked often with him in the ECT treatment unit. I first met him during his residency training, and since then he has frequently been the attending anesthesiologist for our treatments. It may be useful at this point to indicate that our ECT facility is a tertiary care center, with many high-risk patients sent to us from other treatment facilities for this complex treatment. He is a dedicated and responsible clinician, well trained with a sincere interest in our patients. He shows good clinical judgement, relates well to patients, and is well liked by the psychiatric staff. Regardless of the medical and anesthesia complexity of the case, he has been deliberate, careful, and reasoned in our collaboration. He has a knowledge of a wide range of interventions, and l have yet to see him upset by a case. He is well versed in the anesthesia literature and discusses the treatment with assurance. His knowledge of anesthesiology appears excellent, and he likes to teach. He is comfortable teaching both anesthesia and psychiatric residents and students. Farrokh has been interested in our research studies, and he has been most cooperative regardless of the delays which our tests and requests imposed on the clinical process. Finally, Farrokh is friendly, relaxed, interested, and enthusiastic about our work. Given encouragement, I believe he will expand his research accomplishments. He is a valuable member of the clinical staff, and lam delighted to recommend his promotion to associate professorial rank. This letter may be shared with him.

There seems to be some continuing activity in Canada in ECT, both clinically and in research, and it is good to read of these things as they appear. Gabe Carlson has taken a firm hand of the child psychiatry service, opening the in-patient unit, and in encouraging the residents to work with her. Two of them are taking a fourth year child psychiatry elective and they enquired as to the feasibility of following the course of. methylphenidate therapy in ADD children with QEEG measures. lam pleased to cooperate with them, but asked that they do a literature review first. Considering the long standing interest in this topic, 1 was surprised by the dearth of reports. Yours are of some help. We will proceed, in any case. i will send the Annals back by separate mail.

C. 1 England Dear Tony, Thank you for your advice in the matter of the Wesner and Winokur article. Another assessor is equally unenthusiastic and we will probably return it to the authors with your advice when I get the advice of a third. It was good to hear that you would be visiting New York this Fall. Our Department has weekly 'Grand Rounds' for invited speakers on Tuesday mornings. The dates you made available, October 30 and November 10 includes two Tuesdaysthe first is Election Day and an annual State holiday; the second date, November 10 is provisionally open for you. The presentations are in a main auditorium, with about 40-50 members of the staff present. Duration is usually one hour with discussion up to U6 hours. This is usually followed by an informal lunch with the psychiatric residents. Some clinicians also make informal rounds, either before or after the presentation, on one of the psychiatric services, either seeing a number of cases in walk-rounds or a single case presentation. I would be pleased to be your host. We can arrange for your stay at the University, and we usually provide an honorarium of $250. Let me know if these arrangements are agreeable, and select a topic of your present interest. While the main thrust of the Department is clearly in neuroscience, there is a nascent interest in the more psychosocial aspects of clinical practice as well. I look forward to your visit.

I When Professor Hamilton was a guest in my home in early September, we spoke of many things, including my concerns with psychiatric classification systems as well as my interest in coanisive therapy. We discussed a guest article on convulsive therapy, and I offered to write one whenever he asked. When he called a few weeks ago, it was to ask for an article on DSM-HI and the classification dilemma. I said that I would lookinto it, ”and do what i could. After a week, i wrote to say that I was not prepared to write such an article in the time limit he suggested. I recommended that he'consider an invitation to one of my students, Professor Michael Alan Taylor of the UHS/Chicago Medical School. Professor Taylor, and his associate Professor Richard Abrams, have published systematic studies of psychiatric diagnostic systems. He has carried out surveys of actual usage of the system, and has first-hand information on its limitations. He is well qualified for the task set by Professor Hamilton. Professor Taylor can be reached at 3333 Green Bay Road, North Chicago, IL 60064 (312-578 3330), should Professor Hamilton wish to invite his participation. Should you wish a commentary on aspects of the ECT process, I will be pleased to write one for Psychiatry in the .3895.

I have known of his work since his EEG studies with Dr. Turan Itil at the New York Medical College during his residency training. Lately, I have become better acquainted with the reports of his studies of electroconvulsive therapy with Drs. Sidney Malitz and Harold Sackeim, and his collaboration with members of our faculty in neuropsychiatric studies. Dr. Mukherjee is experienced in psychiatry and neurology, and has developed special skills in electrophysiology. His major contributions are in the description of the effects of psychoactive treatments, both drugs and EC’I‘, on brain function and behavior. In developing these skills, he is clearly in the new mainstream of 'neuropsychiatry' in clinical psychiatry. He has a very extensive publication record which reflects a lengthy research interest. His work is generally shared with many others and he is well liked. However, it is difficult to discern the area of individual expertise which may become his main research interest; a development which may be needed for him to establish professorial independence. am unable to comment on his skills as a treating psychiatrist, nor as a teacher, as I have not had the opportunity to assess these aspects of his work. He has established a firm foundation for his research, and when he identifies an area of individual expertise, I anticipate that he will extend his important contributions. 1 ‘ His record is robust and quite sufficient to support his promotion to the recommended rank. His academic career will continue to be productive, and I recommend his promotion with confidence.

Kasten, Ph.D. Department of Anatomy Louisiana State University Medical Center 1100 Florida Avenue New Orleans, Louisiana 70119 Dear Dr. Kasten, i recall Leo Alexander well; he was an active, outspoken, and critical member of the audience at many of the meetings of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and Electroshock Research Association that iattended. i did not know him personally, and i can recall no direct interaction with him. He wrote the textbook TREATMENT OF MENTAL DISORDER which was published in 1953 by $1.8. Saunders, Phildelphia. In it, he has extensive sections on convulsive therapy, as well as the psychotherapies. Reading the index today, one gets the impression that he was trying to resolve the dilemma of the success. and risks of the somatic therapies with the elegance and greater acceptance (especially in Boston) of the psychodynamic model. He does notsucceed in balancing these antithetic attitudes well. Leo Alexander was a practitioner seeking to make the best of an impossible of test allegiance. His textbook is idiosyncratic and limited; it contrasts rather poorly with other texts published at the same time (see Kalinowsky and Hoch or Sargant and Slater). The APA Task Force report on Electroconvulsive Therapy is report #14, published in 1978. It should be available in your library, or from the APA in Washington, D.C. l was a member of the panel, and contributed to, but did not write the report. _- i met Reuben Reiter back in the 19505 when I was interested in ECT devices. 1 used one of his devices for a while but thought his instruments were poorly designed. They are no longer in active use. i was told a few years ago that he had died, but have no further information. i trust these comments are helpful. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, Md).

Department of Psychiatry University of California, San Francisco 401 Parnassus Avenue San Francisco, CA ~ ‘ 9“” Dear Dr. Barondes, At your request, I am writing this letter regarding the promotion of Dr. Edward Merrin to the rank of Associate Professor. I do not know Dr. Merrin, and“ was not acquainted with his writings before reviewing the publications sent to me. I am impressed with the quality and sophistication of Dr. Merrin's research studies using quantitative. EEG methods. His choice of problem (laterality in schizophrenia) is timely and important; the methods used (power spectral analysis, unlinked reference leads, medication controls) are reasonable; and the quality of the reports excellent. The latter are clearly written, and Dr. Merrin uses good statistical and data processing procedures. These studies are important and they reflect an interest that should continue to be productive in the forseeable future. It is difficult to assess the importance of these studies in the field, since there is much activity and little that has been conclusive. These studies of laterality are well done and must be considered in any further studies of the problem. And, as a young investigator, I believe that these reports are of high quality, comparing most favorably with other reports in the field. For example, he has not made the glaring errors of Duffy, E. Roy John, and Morihsa, who failed to control for handedness, drug use, and electrode montage in their conclusions (which have since had to be retracted.) Dr. Merrin’s clinical reports are also well written and useful. I am unable to assess the studies of saccadic eye movements, since I am not conversant with the theory of these studies. _ i have examined his list of Departmental, V.A., and University teaching responsibilities, and these seem consistent with his rank. I am, of course, unable to assess their quality. To the extent of this review, I am impressed with Dr. Merrin's reports and output, and would have no difficulty in endorsing a recommendation for his promotion to the rank of Associate Professor at this University. I am comfortable in making the same recommendation for the University of California, and recommend Dr. Merrin's promotionwithout reservation.

To the long list of other reasons which I have dutifully expressed to the students about the hazards of alcohol use, lcan now add these data. The argument that alcohol use contributes to myocardial infarction is another compelling one for the anti-alcohol lobby. Two decades ago, similar questions about demasculinizing effects were raised about cannabis use, mainly by Gabriel Nahas. l have often wondered whether these reports have merit. Is there any data on cannabis use and myocardial infarction? A question to Costas Stefanis at the University of Athens may encourage a parallel study in chronic cannabis users. am so glad that I am not an alcohol user, and when your findings, she was also pleased. I I told Martha about ' Keep up the good work. My best regards.

WA. July 15, 1987 Professor Fritz Henn, Ph.D., MD. Department of Psychiatry 6: Behavioral Science SUNY at Stony Brook Long Island, New York 11794 Dear Fritz, lam pleased to submit this letter in support of the promotion of Dr. Krishnareddy Gujavarty from the rank of Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry to Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry. I have worked closely with Dr. Gujavarty for more than four years, as a collaborator on research projects, as a team-mate in both the in-patient unit at lO-North and the Affective Disorders Clinic in the CPD, and as a fellow teacher and member of the Department. I have come to know his professional work very well. He is a dedicated and responsible clinician, well trained (in our own resdiency training program, I might add), with a sincere interest in our patients. He shows good clinical judgement, relates well to patients and their families, and is very well liked by our co-workers. He reads the literature avidly, and often presents the latest clinical findings in our case conferences. He has accepted additional assignments within the Department, including the medical management of the cases in the Sleep Disorders Program when it was headed by Drs. Mitler and Baker, scientists without clinical certification. His knowledge of clinical psychiatry is excellent, and he likes to teach. In addition to the supervision of residents, for many years he has taught psychopharmacology to each rotation of third year clerks. Each year, he has accepted the repsonsibility for presentations in our Grand Rounds program. He has accepted numerous departmental administrative assignments with enthusiasm; the latest is his appointment as acting clinical director for the inpatient unit at University Hospital -- a position which he is carrying out with elan. In his research work, he has made independent observations and reports in sleep physiology and convulsive therapy. At present, he is principal investigator in drug therapy studies. �His greatest strengths are in clinical care and the teaching of medical students and residents. in his research, he has been slow to identify an area of expertise, although his recent sleep studies show considerable promise of achieving wider recognition. lam delighted to recommend his promotion to associate protessorial rank. He is a dedicated, reliable, and loyal member of our staff and we have come to depend on him for his clinical and teaching skills. This letter may be shared with Krish. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

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.

Bonnet, M.D. 114 West Franklin Avenue, Suite K-l Pennington, New Jersey 0853‘; Dear Dr. Bonnet, It is not clear from your letter how i can be of assistance in the understanding of your interesting case. 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. We would be glad to have the patient seen at our center, following receipt of a more detailed history. Evaluations maybe done as an out-patient or as an inpatient, depending on the patient’s needs. 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. He has made a study of patients with unusual syndromes of depression. - Thank you for the inquiry.

February 20, 1987 Wmuuwlwmm'wmww, Paul 3. Poppers, Md). Professor 6: Chairman Department of Anesthesiology at Stony Brook Long Island, New York H791; SUNY Dear Paul, 1 am pleased to submit this letter endorsing the promotion of KENNETH FREESE, MD. to the rank of Clinical Associate Professor of Anesthesiology. 1 first met Ken when he delivered anesthesia for the ECT service in 193$. 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. A v" w—rryu—n-vvv um—w- Wu‘mmvH—m "‘WVHWv—rtwm'w Aww‘zmv‘w—‘m Last year, i invited him to discuss the relations between anesthesiologists and electrotherapists in the American Psychiatric Association training course on *1 ECT in Washington. 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.

Box 35070 Louisville, Kentucky ll0232 Dear Dr. Norton, We have not published a case report of the use of ECT in patients with NMS. Our experience, however, led one of my associates at Stony Brook, Lawrence Greenberg, to write a letter which we published (Convul. Therapy 2: 61-62, 1986). A copy is enclosed for your information. There have been a few case reports of the use of ECT in NMS, and a few reviews of NMS as a syndrome, but no comparative study has been brought to my attention. I enclose a copy of the citations in our files with regard to NMS and ECT; it may be of use in your report. I also enclose copies of our information for authors and a publication which release must accompany all reports submitted for publication. Thank you for your interest. I look ofrward to reading your report. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD. Editor P.S.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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? Thank you for your consideration, and my best regards.

Shader, MD. Department of Psychiatry Tufts University School of Mediocine 171 Harrison Avenue Box l007 Boston, MA 02111 Dear Dick, A few weks ago, l was consulted on the question of hepatotoxicity to phenelzine. 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.

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. He is eminently capable of developing research using the new topographic, multi—lead EEG analytic systems. 1 Good luck in your work at LSU. My regards.

Epstein, M.D. Department of Psychiatry Brown University Providence, R102912 Dear Dr. Epstein, I am writing with regard to the consideration being given to the promotion of Barry Fogel MD. to the ram of Associate Professor. 1 have known Dr. Fogel for about three years through his interest in the problems of the elderly and the development of a medical/surgical psychiatric unit. 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. His skill as a clinician and his scholarship are important assets and encourage an enthusiastic recommendation for his promotion. i believe that his record would be considered favorably in this Department, and with that in mind, i heartily endorse the favorable consideration of his application.
