Rick was a science editor for KABT-TV in Tempe. ' in 1984, he was asked to develop a science report on depressive illness and its treatment, and he asked for my help. He knew that both in my practice and research at this University, lhad an interest in the treatment of depressed patients with drugs and convulsive therapy. hltially i demurred. Such requests are fairly frequent, and my experience with TV and other media reporters has been uniformly unfavorable; too many reporters approached treatment for its sensationalism and in a desire to present a balanced' view of a 'controversial' topic, shaded their questions so as to be unfavorable to an effective treatment. i suggested that Rick read some articles first and call me back if he was still interested. short while later, he called again and asked questions in a knowledgeable and friendly manner, ensuring my interest and support. He developed a program, agreeing to come to New York to film an interview with me and the treatment of patients. When the report was produced, he sent me a copy. I was surprised by the quality of the tape, the balance in the interviews, and the excellence of the presentation. Some months later, he called to say that a segment of the tape was accepted by the MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour. That viewing was national, and soon thereafter, i understand that the videotape was given a national award for A excellence. u.— v,—u-...—~wv»...._. W'I'ww'T—um'a—v - ‘mu-WWN-wmw- qr- We began to use a copy of the MacNeil/Lehrer version of the tape in educating our patients and their families about depression and its treatment, and found it most helpful. in 1985, [was asked by another scientist whether [would like to make a new tape, specifically for the education of psychiatric trainees as well as patients and their relatives. 1 agreed and called on Rick to produce two videotapes. “mesa were made and have since been distributed widely. The reviews have been most salutary. �arm-«A.».m: Re: Rick D’Aiii My Page 2 During this time, Rick talked to me about his wish to enter medical school. first reaction, as a member of the Admissions Committee of this University, was to dissuade him, on the grounds of his age and the long time since he had been a 'student'. He applied, nevertheless, without sucCess. But in his interviews at Stony Brook, he was given high marks. The principal question was his ability to return to the classroom. i understand ‘ ' that he has attended classes this past year, updating his pre- medical requirements with excellent grades. His MCAT scores have improved. -w‘ um 'W'M’n“'w' i believe that Rick is sincere in his desire to become a physician. While I would see him combining his medical skills with those he has in communication, and hoping he would continue to interpret our science to the laity, it is more likely that he will seek a clinical career. .<-'\w-—-'r'-" _. . .7“... vy- m.-¢—.v_.—.‘-. —~ -..,.uw.......m....~mrm v. - Rick is a delightful human being. He is warm, friendly, considerate, and intelligent. He put my patients, many of whom were quite ill, at ease, and obtained their Cooperation for a project which was of little direct benefit to them. He grasped medical terms and concepts quickly; and did not seek to direct the presentation of complex material by his prejudices; rather, he encouraged us, the professional and the patients, to speak openly. He has broad interests in literature, science, music, and the arts. His wife is mature and on two occasions, discussed the impact of Rick's schooling on their lives. I found her most supportive of his aim to become a physician. Rick is more mature than most of our candidates. But his maturity is an i believe he is sincere in his desire to practice medicine, and i heartily endorse his wish. i recommend his admission to medical school with much asset. enthusiasm.

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

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

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

Weiner, M.D., Ph.D. Psychiatric Service VA Medical Center 508 Fulton Street Durham, North Carolina 27705 Dear Rich, SCIMATE has three major programs— Searcher, Manager, and Editor. We do not use the Searcher; the Manager is the main operating system for data entry and retrieval; and the Editor h the special program for extracting citations in styles for different journals. The Manager is the main program, and I enclose a description of it; as well as an article about the Editor. My files are divided into blocks of 1000 citations each. I searched the most recent files for WEINER and part of the output is enclosed so that you can see the style of the records. The main advantage of SCIMATE is that one need not identify descriptor terms; all terms in any record may be the basis for a search since the strategy is a string search throughout all the records; no thesaurus is created. If you or one of your amelates wish to visit, we would be pleased to demonstrate our system, and make copies of the files for your use. The SCIMATE hotiine number is 800 523 4092. My regards.

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

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

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

Thank you also for the updated copy of SCHIZOPHRENIA. It remains a valuable contribution to our limited knowledge about this dread disorder. In reading the section on treatment, I am disappointed with the short shrift given ECT. The young man you met on my service, Mr. White, clearly suffers from this disorder. The remarkable change in his behavior was not achieved with any drug combination, and when ECT was proposed, as a 'last-ditch effort', his family demurred for more than two months. Now they are delighted, and even if the improvement is transient, and allows him to be home for only a few weeks, it still remains a miracle to them. I have taken the liberty of writing to your publisher. My best regards, and my thanks for your help in CONVULSIVE THERAPY.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Describing his visits to the United States and other countries of the Western Hemisphere in 1939, Meduna writes: "In New York we met Emerick Friedman, an American psychiatrist of Hungarian parentage, with whom i had been in previous scientific correspondence, and in collaboration with whom i had published a paper. He took us in his car to Boston where' we saw how the Metrazol treatment was given in this country and I recited one of my memorized English speeches of which word."

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

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

One is designed as an explanation for patients and their families, intended to facilitate the consent process. The second is designed as a teaching tape for resident psychiatrists. Both will be marketed by Somatics Inc., and will be announced in January.

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

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

We lack the funds to make such a trip feasible. As Dr. Stevens may have told you, I have been active in two programs for more than 20 years -— an understanding of the effects of psychotropic drugs and psychiatric treatments on the quantitative EEG, and the mode of action of convulsive therapy, particularly in the relief of mood disorders. If a trip could be arranged, I am able to describe our present usage and understanding of the mode of action of convulsive therapy (Convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice); and on another occasion, describe the theory of association of EEG and behavior which has been helpful in our management of psychiatric patients with psychotropic drugs (EEG and Human Psychopharmacoiogy: Present Practice).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have sent a draftyou the to American Journal of Psychiatry for their consideration. It is difficult to know what to make about your announcement about the electrotherapy group headed by Gary Aden. They are well meaning and well funded, and they could encourage a better image for ECT, but their commitment to legal defense and maintaining present practices made me uncomfortable. There is still a need for a reasoned voice in defense of ECT when confused a community reacts with anger; hopefully, the American Psychiatric Association will establish a committee for such a purpose. I am unable to come to Vienna for the World Congress meetings, as I have family matters which need my attention. Let me know what happens in the ECT and EEG sessions. My best regards.

June 14, 1983 Barry M. Maletzky, M.D. 8332 5.13. 13 Street Portland, Oregon 97202 Dear Barry, Thank you for your letter of May 27 regarding an ECT journal or newsletter. Following Paul Blachly’s death, I considered continuing the Bulletin, but the burden seemed too great and the need small. In the past two years, however, the need has become greater, and I have looked into the question. believe that there is little future for a journal dedicated to ECT alone. i have approached some publishers, and each indicated, correctly I believe, that a journal dedicated to one treatment would have a limited audience. More important, it would not attract the best papers. The better authors and best papers would be sent to the general journals, since there they would get the widest circulation. I also enquired about an ECT section in a major journal, and four editors turned me down; again, I can agree with their logic. They accept articles about ECT, and if we made a dedicated section, we might get to use fillers with a negative impact on I quality. ‘ newsletter is another matter. I have approached three publishers and I have prepared a prospectus for two of them. i propose a newsletter along the lines of the Biological Therapies Newsletter, dedicated to the technical and scientific issues of convulsive therapy. If I am successful in getting the funding, the first issue will be out before the end of the year. A My regards.

One videotape is available from the manufacturers of MECTA (Mrs. R. Nicol, MECTA Corporation, 122 SE 8th Avenue, 503-231 2808). It was made by Dr. Barry Maletzky of Portland OR 97214 Portland, Oregon, and gives undue emphasis to MMECT, but it is otherwise - acceptable. Another was made a few years ago by Dr. Richard Abrams (Department of Psychiatry, Chicago Medical School, V.A. HOSpital, North Chicago, Illinois 6006# 312-578 3330). It is a good presentation for students, but I am not sure it is good for relatives of patients. —— There is a need for a technically well presented videotape which may be useful for students, patients, and their families. If you have the skill to produce one, it will be in demand. Good luck. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.

Robinowitz, MD. Director, Office of Education American Psychiatric Association 1400 K Street, NW. Washington, D.C. 20005 Dear Dr. Robinowitz, Enclosed is a draft copy of my remarks at the recent meeting of the A.P.A. I have urged, for some time, the A.P.A. leadership to accept responsibility for encouraging teaching and the optimal use of convulsive therapy. The events in California, leading to an interdiction of its use in one community, reflects the persistent poor press that psychiatry enjoys. But part of the responsibility for this press is our own -- and one aspect was discussed by the 1978 Task Force on Electroconvulsive Therapy in their report. The committee, under Fred Frankel, did recommend a continuing committee of the A.P.A. with a mission to serve the Association's members, to improve teaching and education, and to answer queries by the public. Unfortunately, none of the recommendations of the TAsk Force have been implemented.

There are other guidelines in my book (Fink, M.: Convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice, Raven Press, New York, 1979) and a recent British manual (Fraser, M.: _E_(_3_T_: _A_ Clinical Guide, John Wiley, New York, 1982). Unfortunately, none answer your questions for maintenance ECT or out-patient ECT. it is generally assumed that courses of ECT will begin in a hospital setting, where a pre-treatment spine x-ray and ECG are recommended. There are no ‘laboratory' tests that are prerequisite to a course of ECT, although all guides suggest that a medical 'clearance' be obtained, and presumably this will include such routine laboratory tests as CBC, urinalysis, and SMA 12. During a course of ECT, ECG records are often repeated if the patient's medical condition warrants — where cardiovascular disease is pre-existent and where the treatments are marked by cardiovascular events. Spine x-rays are rarely repeated but may be if the patient complains of back pain or it there is a remarkably 'violent' treatment experience. I see no reason to change these guidelines for patients maintained on treatments at home. For a more definitive answer, I suggest you address your request to Melvin Sabshin, M.D., the Medical Director of the APA.

The principal studies in my book on ECT (Pg 207). The APA Task Force was unable to find detailed are satisfactory data to allow a recommendation, so reference to such studies was included among the research needs in the Task Force Report. This question has been asked by a number of other respondents. The best suggestion that I was able to make reflected the present practice on my service at University Hospital. About half our effectively ill patients who respond to a course of ECT are discharged on maintenance drug therapy, usually imipramine, less often lithium or phenelzine. When such patients relapse, and recover in a second course of ECT, we then consider discharge on maintenance ECT, initially recommending weekly treatments for 2 to 4 weeks, then bi-weekly for a month. We have not treated a patient beyond 6 treatments as an out-patient, always trying a second course of a maintenance drug trial. I am not satisfied with this experience, and did propose a study which was not approved by granting agencies. would be grateful for a copy of your recommendations when these are adopted at your hospital.

I do not know what is planned for May, 1984 in San Francisco. I believe that Trevor Price and Ari Albala (University of Michigan) are planning a teaching workshop. There is usually room for volunteered papers, either in the regular program, or in the special sessions of the Society of Biological Psychiatry. The section of psychiatry of the New York Academy of Medicine is organizing a special 50th anniversary meeting on ECT on February 2, 1984. Richard Abrams, Fred Frankel, Lothar Kalinowsky, Sidney Malitz, and Iare among the invited speakers. This is the schedule of meetings, as far as I know it.

In ECT, he said The furor about ECT is now muted, and more and more, I find the medical and lay communities approaching the use of ECT with a reasonable, questioning, attitude. There is more research interest, both by clinicians and basic scientists, and we are optimistic that research funding will be available without the thorny issue of ethics muddying the review process. Our principal concerns are not the electricity/seizure issue, but the efficacy of unilateral electrode placements and brief pulse stimuli. The Royal College report by Pippard and Ellam has been very helpful, in suggesting that usage in the US. is not (relatively) excessive, and that technical questions, particularly the monitoring of seizures, need special attention.

When the California legislature, in 1973-1974, enacted restrictive legislation against the use of 'intrusive treatments', including ECT, the American Psychiatric Association appointed a Task Force (1975-1978) to review the evidence of safety and efficacy of ECT, and to provide guidelines as to a proper response to restrictive rules. The Task Force reviewed the literature, carried out surveys of usage, held public hearings, and published a report (American Psychiatric Association, Task Force Report #14, 1978). The members concluded that the evidence for the efficacy of ECT in major depressive disorders and catatonia was compelling; in mania, less well defined; and for schizophrenia, poor. As for safety, the committee concluded that in its own right, ECT was remarkably safe (when properly done) and in comparison with other treatments (as tricyclic drugs and lithium, for example) as safe or safer. The Task Force also noted new evidence that ECT was more effective than tricyclic drugs in treating delusional depressions. Soon after that publication, articles appeared that indicated that ECT treated patients had a lesser incidence of successful suicides and lesser death rates from other causes when compared to depressed patients treated by other means. -v "A“. MWVVH‘ v tum-r r - «v ur- rmw wwmqn;1VWw-rswt~mm1'ww.w.mwaml an . “War inwmmlmr'wm' In 1979, I published my book on ECT (Convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice. Raven Press, New York, 1979) in which I documented the same information and concluded that ECT was particularly effective in severe depressions and catatonia, especially if accompanied by delusions, inanition, or suicidal drive. 1 suggested that the standard approach of using all other treatments first, and reserving ECT for treatment failures, was contrary to the evidence, and encouraged the earlier use of ECT. After that publication, I became aware of the 1964 deCarolis study (Avery and Lubrano: Am. J. Psychiat. l36z559-562, 1979) Which clearly showed the efficacy of ECT in patients who failed adequate courses of imipramine therapy. - �Dr. Alick Elithorn November 1, 1983 Page 2 Since then, others have come to similar conclusions about efficacy and safety, notably Kendell (1981), Weiner (1981), and Palmer (1981). There have been other supports of early usage. The awareness that some elderly patients with symptoms of dementia may be suffering from severe depression (which is responsive to ECT) has encouraged the early use of ECT in elderly subjects (presumably suffering with 'pseudo-dementia'). Reports that patients with a syndrome poorly classified as neither schizophrenia nor depression, but rather 'schizo=affective disorders' are responsive to ECT is also encouraging. We now teach that the severity of the illness is a compelling factor in our choice of treatment. For severely depressed and delusional patients, particularly those whose medical status is compromised (inanition, metabolic disorder, cardiovascular decompensation, pregnancy), who are ill enough to be hospitalized, ECT is considered among the initial treatment choices. I recommend and use ECT as a primary condition in the most severely ill patients. For severely depressed and suicidal patients, who have recently carried out a severe threat, ECT is preferred. In elderly patients with depressive conditions with symptoms of dementia, ECT is clearly preferred. in psychotic pregnant women, during the first trimester, who cannot be managed by nursing care alone, ECT is preferred over antipsychotic, antidepressant, or antimanic drugs. None of this is stated as explicitly in one location. Indeed, since publishing my book, and while on the lecture trail, the question has often been asked. II'Gradually, especially when I am encouraged to see patients in case conferences, I have become holder in my statements about the indications for ECT. I have also been encouraged by a long line of successes with ECT in patients who have failed other treatments, since 1 accepted responsibility for the therapy unit at this hospital. There is one other factor which operates here but may not in your country. When, in 1976, I carried out a survey of usage of ECT in New York, I was amazed to find greater usage in upper class, private pay hospitals. Clinicians in the U.S., faced with a severely depressed individual requiring hospitalization, who when well, was active in the home, office, or business, use ECT in preference to drugs because they are convinced that the resolutions are more rapid. For hospitalized patients, especially those whose insurance has a 30—day or [LS-day clause, ECT is clearly the first choice. It is in our public mental hospitals, where the cost of care is borne by the state, that duration of hospitalization is not a factor, and therapists follow popular beliefs about the relative risk in ECT. (Many public hospitals also do not provide ECT since it is labor intensive and therefore very expensive, requiring psychiatrist, anesthesiologist, nurse, and aide.) �Dr. Alick Elithorn November 1, I983 Page 3 I am not sure what prompted your question, but I chose to give a detailed answer since it is an exercise which Ienjoy. In September, I attended the advanced postgraduate sessions in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital. 1 was impressed with the quality of care of the patients and the extent and fine quality of their research endeavors. I was given a short tour of the ECT facility and in this fine institution, usage was similar to that we see in our public mental hospitals. I was reminded of the Pippard and Ellam report (which has had a good press in this country) and the conclusion that in about 1/3 the centers, ECT was administered poorly. It is sad that this treatment, which has so much to offer so many, is restricted to so few. In January, it will be 50 years since the first convulsive treatment was given by Meduna in Budapest. Hopefully, our understanding of the therapeutic process will improve so that the treatment will be less feared, and soon replaced by a more acceptable treatment as our undersatanding of its mechanism grows.

(I did not demur as to its use long as it is functioning, I am pleased to have it used, with charges consistent -so with the real expenses, usually nominal.) He told me that he had this large grant and I suggested that, if the funds were available, he might wish to get the type of system that you, John Pavel, and Don had recommended to me.

Boehringer lngelheim, Ltd. 90 East Ridge P.O. Box 368 Ridgefield, CT 06877 Dear Penny, Enclosed are draft copies of the report, "Pharmaco-EEG Analysis of clonidine (Catapres): Comparison with l-Penbutolol (Betapressin)". The report summarizes the experiences in the two studies of Catapres which we have completed in normal male volunteers. Catapres exhibits central effects at single doses of 0.075 mg which peak at two hours after dosing and are no longer measurable at four hours. The EEG pattern are those of a sedative or hypnotic, and are not consistent with the changes seen with typical antipsychotic, antidepressant (thymoleptic), or anxiolytic psychoactive substances. In these trials, Catapres elicited some lowering of systolic and diastolic blood pressures and a slowing of the heart rate. These findings suggest that Catapres elicits direct effects in the CNS, in doses which may be clinically relevant. A summary of the first study was presented at the ACNP session on organized by Dr. Richard Resnick, and was published in Psychooharmacology Bulletin (31:16-17, 1981). Do you think a more detailed report Catapres should be prepared for publication based on these findings '?

Beck, MB. 406 Wynmere Road Wynnewood, PA 19096 Dear Aaron, Congratulations, again, PsychopathologicalAssociation. on your award from the American As I listened to your presentation, and the sense of the sessions enquiring into the relations between drug therapy and psychotherapy, I was mindful of the linguistic studies of the 1950‘s. The work of Rioch, Weinstein and Kahn, and Sapir, sought to define behavioral change in measures of language. Many authors (Jafie, Birdwhistle, Strupp, among others) went into microlingusitics, speech pauses, typetoken-ratios and mechanical aspects of speech, but others sought to measure definable entities like first and third person speech, denial, minimization, and displacement. I found these ideas useful as I sought to define the behavioral changes of patients undergoing ECT and drug therapies. In one study, Jaffe (l) sought to define the type of psychotherapy that would be enhanced during ECT. I reviewed that work in a presentation to the APPA in 1974 (2). I commend it, and the interesting work of Weinstein and Kahn (3), as complements to your present thoughts. My regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry (1) Jafie, 3.

Your support of an electrical theory of the ECT process is indeed interesting. However, as we and others have noted, the concept that the electric current or the seizure 'is to interrupt the ongoing cerebral circuits so that the brain may then start to function a ain in a more normal manner with the disturbing pathological circuits omitted' pg 303) fails to detail how the brain (or the seizure) knows which circuits are normal and which are disturbing. Such a theory is reminiscent of the 'bad cell' hypothesis of insulin coma therapy espoused by Manfred Sakel, and seems to require some additional operational details. Such concepts help us to picture the events of the process.

V.A. Medical Center University 6: Woodland Avenues Philadelphia, Pa. l9l04 Dear Dr. Behar, As a start on your questions of 3/21/83, you may search the APA Task Force Report #14 (1978) or my book (Convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice, Raven Press, N.Y., 1979). Both present the incidence of mortality in ECT. It is very low, and as a consequence, it is very difficult to define 'risk factors'. For morbidity, the question must be refined, since there are many consequences of the ECT process, from hematoma at the injection site or postseizure excitement to complaints of amnesia. Again, the two books will help you refine your question. know of no studies of ECT in right (? _v_§ left) cerebral lesions since EC!” is not ordinarily used in individuals with brain lesions. There is an extensive I literature of the safety and efficacy of ECT among diabetics, patients with thyroid dysfunction, and hypertensives; and some case reports of patients successfully treated in the absence of adrenals, with Cushing's syndrome, 939. Again, some focus can be gleaned from these two volumes. For more recent material, you may wish to write to Dr. Arthur Gabriel at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. He is an electrotherapist with an extensive experience with medically ill patients.

Having just completed a review of the Kalinowsky and Hippius volume, it is easy to conclude that a more authoritative and technically sophisticated volume is still needed. 1 would be pleased to assist such a venture in the way that you request. However, would it not be more acceptable for Professor Kiloh (and Dr. SydneySmith) to accept the selection of a reviewer (or to select their own reviewer) ‘? If you explore such a mission with the authors, and they are agreeable, I believe it would be equally useful for your needs if the criticism is made with their knowledge. To the extent that the criticism may be justified, it would allow the authors to consider the suggestions in revisions. I in either instance, anonymous or with their consent, 1 am agreeable.

I In today's mail, I received a letter from Prof. Franco Angeleri of the Ospedale Generaie Regionale in Torrette, Ancona, recommending Dr. Marco Guidi for a fellowship in electrophysiology in my laboratory by supported a scholarship from the Italian government. After looking at the and seeing that Ancona is map closer to Genoa than to New York, by far, i took the liberty of writing to Dr. Angeleri, asking that Dr. Guidi meet you. . Would you interview him for us ? Since you know the situation here and have been through a fellowship, you can explain our principles and help Dr. Guidi understand what he is asking. Please be free to tell him what you recall of the laboratory. As I wrote last week, most of my time is now spent in clinical activities, but we do have an active EEG program, devoted almost exclusively to patients. We will be doing some pharmaco-EEG studies, but very few. You should explain the nature of our computer. On the other side, I would be interested in Dr. Guidi's facility with English; a description of his training; a discussion of his aims, and if you especially think that he will be able to achieve them here. Dr. Angeleri writes he needs that an answer before June 5 to apply for a fellowship. Thank yOu again. My best regards.

We would be pleased to consider his application for an appointment for one year. Since Dr. Guidi has not yet established a publication record, it would be important that he be interviewed before a decision could be made. A few years ago, Dr. Walter Sannita of the Ospedale San Martino in Genoa was resident as a research fellow in this laboratory. if Dr. Guidi could visit Dr. Sannita, it would be helpful. i enclose a copy of a letter which i have addressed to Dr. Sannita, in the hope that he would be willing to discuss our programs, our location, the costs of living in the U.S., and the importance of defining a project before Dr. Guidi comes to the U.S. For many years, my laboratory was dedicated to pharmaco-EEG studies in normal male volunteers. These studies have, in the last year, been replaced by studies of the. effects of drugs and convulsive therapy in patients, with the aim of relating changes in EEG parameters to clinical outcome. The principal clinical study is that of the mode of action of convulsive therapy. Within the Department, there is an active sleep EEG laboratory, and it may be possible for Dr. Guidl to work in that unit as well. Thank you for your inquiry. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, Ml).

Using pharmaco-EEG methods, I studied a number of the peptides for which a nobtropic status has been claimed. I was unable to elicit either an EEG profile or evidence of behavioral effects. I have also read the literature, and found the published data until 1981 thin and unpromising. Lately, you have published an editorial supporting such a classification -but the editorial lacked the evidence for the claim. I recently came across the citation list for the special issue of Drug Development Research (2 (5), 1982) which has a number of titles which suggest that they might contain the evidence for such a classification. 1 requested a copy. of the journal from our library, and we have no subscription; I requested an interlibrary loan, but as an unbound journal, it is not available. Hence this letter. Do you have a copy of the issue ? Would you lend Many thanks. it to me for a few days ? We began our first patient on Sertraline on Monday of this week. (We actually began two, but when I checked the inclusion criteria, one patient was 70 years of age, and Dr. Gholly rejected her.) I also sent a protocol for an EEG study for BHT 933 (azepexole) to Penny, and hope to examine it this Fall. I trust Ellen and the children are well. We expect Jon next week, and Rachel said that she may fly up to visit with her brother as well. I cannot get to the NCDEU meetings this year, so will miss all the sunshine. My best regards.

Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709 Dear Warren, It was a pleasure to discuss clinical problems with you in San Juan. I enclose a number of recent reprints of our pharmaco—EEG studies, as examples of the power of this methodology. The study of flutroline predicted the clinical profile more accurately than preclinical studies; and it is my expectation that the same will be true for our study of 6-azamianserin. The pharmacodynamic study of brotizolam is a replication of Itil's findings, indicating the reliability of the methods. And the study of aspirin is a tour de force which we undertook as a challenge and which has turned out to be one of our most popular and controversial studies. As we discussed, I am in charge of a l5-bed acute admission and treatment unit and the CPD affective disorders clinic at University Hospital. 1 am interested in assaying new entities for their psychoactive properties. While it would be interesting to do so after their pharmaco-EEG profiles have been explicated, this is not a necessary step. I have facilities to assess entities in patients with severe depressive disorders, manic states, and acute sch120phrenia. I look forward to hearing from you.

It must be a good challenge to direct an ongoing enterprise, and I am confident that you and Merton will work hard to maintain its reputation. Your invitation to ‘share views about growing points in psychiatric research, as well as areas not well covered by other journals' stimulates my reply. Convulsive therapy remains an active treatment in psychiatry. In 1984, it will have been used for 50 years -- a remarkable longevity when we consider that the average half-life of medical treatments is much shorter. In the 1940's and 1950‘s, there was the Electroshock Research Association which focussed issues about ECT, and they published their annual proceedings in Confinia Neurologica. When that association was prematurely digested by the Society of Biological Psychiatry in the mid-1960's, the central focus ended. Of course, we expected the treatment to be replaced by drugs. But that has not happened. There is a significant gap. No journal and no society has taken the leadership as a focus for convulsive therapy research. As a consequence, the papers are scattered. Recently, i did a survey of the Medline citations under 'electroconvulsive therapy', and the attached data resulted. ECT is an important treatment of depression. Indeed, I cannot see how any research into the mode of action of antidepressants or the pathophysiology of depressive illness can ignore the ECT process. Considering your fling into convulsive therapy research, perhaps you and your co—editor would want to consider a trial period in which you would establish a section on ECT and invite review papers, conference reports, etc. My estimate of the literature is a publication rate of 11 papers/month and increasing. My best wishes for your and the Journal's success.

By all means, make corrections and additions. I tried to get the essential issues for the journal, as I see them, in the last paragraphs. I also think it is a good idea to separate our aims from those of clinical EEG. "Work here is progressing well. As you may have heard, there has been some political pressure, again in California, to stop the use of convulsive therapy. I am busy defending this treatment, and particularly its continued research. Our pharmaco—EEG studies continue, although a bit more slowly now that Mr. Irwin is in Basie. I understand that there is a misunderstanding about our paper on placebo effects in EEG. He wished to complete the report himself, and I hope that he has done so, and sent you a copy in time. My best wishes for a healthy and successful 1983. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, BALD.
