I raised tho question in answer to the suggestion, made by Dr. Tyrer, that misnserin may have epileptogonic features. His case report was flawed, however, by the fact that the patient had had lorszepsm withdrawn two days before the seizure. In the recent issue of Lancet (January 19, 1980, p.151), Einsrson four cases of withdrawal seizures with bansodissepines in one year. reports Dr. Tyror’s response is also included. It is clear the paucity of literature and the persistence of the question of bensodiszopine withdrawal seizures that systematic studies in man need to be done. from Insidentally, I had dinner a few nights ago with Dr. John Davis of ColuMbus, Ohio, who remarked on your work and some association with him.

R. Jaffe, Krieger, H. Sencer Department of Neurology 8 W. Mt. New Sinai Hospital City York Dear Bob, Howie and Wally, Nothing would please me more than to honor Morris on his 75th birthday, and to meet with all my old comrades-in~ training. I cannot attend, but in good spirit, and recognizing that you will surely find something appropriate to record our debt to Morris, I enclose the check requested. Have a good time. Despite Morris' aversion to EEG, both then and now, experience has served me well and my laboratory, which has been dedicated to determining the effects of psychoactive drugs on the EEG continues to be productive. Lately, we determined the normal profile of phenytoin, aspirin, and are now working on some olfactory stimulants. The experience at Sinai also led me to examine HOT and after 25 years, I have put together a book which reports the clinical and theoretic knowledge. I am most delighted with the latest theories, which hold some promise for an improved understanding of the mode of action of this treatment. The book, "Convuslisve Therapy~ Theory and Practice" was issued by Raven Press in early 1979, and is already completed the first printing. (It has also received an international award of the Anna Monika Foundation for contribution to our understanding of endogenous depression.) my My .v: , best regards.

INSTITUTE DIRECTOR (516) 444-2447 (516) 444-2163 February 29, 1980 Florentine Cambridge University Press New York City 10022 Mr. Harry Dear Mr. My Florentine, reasons for cancelling the subscription to Psychological Medicine are many, some general and some quite specific. The general reasons are the usual-- I find few articles of interest to me, and these are generally those of a review type. Such articles are often reproduced elsewhere so that the failure to read the article in this journal is rarely a handicap. for specifics, I have found the attitude of the editors to one issue in medicine, that of convulsive therapy, quite inconsistent with the prevailing experience. The editors seem to find the treatment repugnant and seem to have made efforts to discredit it. In the past As article on ECI' was published by Dr. Crow. I found done, and wrote a critique addressed to the editors as a year, an it poorly letter. It rejected with the statement that letters are not accepted by the journal. If true, then how can the readers redress the balance of bias that may creep into any editorial board or correct errors that may was occur in any article, no matter how well reviewed ? I recently wrote a book on convulsive therapy, which has been reviewed rather favorably by a number of journals, including Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, and the American Journal of Psychiatry. Yet, your reviewers chose to combine a review of this volume, the result of more than 25 years of research, with a review of an earlier published diatribe written by a psychotic medical resident. In combining the two reviews, the editors did my serious volume a distinct disservice, but more importantly, they exposed what is clearly their bias. �Last year, Professor Ottosson of the University of Goteborg and I submitted a review article on a theory of the mode of action of ECT to the journal. It was rejected as too speculative. While we accepted this response as reasoned, the Crow article appeared subsequently. Its quality is so inferior to our effort, that I believe bias also entered into this decision. (The article has since been published in a fine journal, needless to say.) This experience follows an earlier experience with the editor. In 1977, I co-edited a volume on the effects of chronic hashish use. The study was undertaken by a team of scientists working in two countries over six years. The data were presented carefully. The editors could not agree as to the significance of one of the findings and it was my burden to write a concluding chapter. To indicate the difference in opinion, I entered a footnote that the opinions stated were mine alone. It was this fact that piqued the excitement of Dr. Shepherd, and which was the highlight of the review. At an international meeting I: met Dr. Shepherd before the review appeared and he was gleeful that the reviewer would highlight this point. His glee was matched by my later discomfiture at having a serious effort distorted by the reviewer and the Editor. These are some of the reasons longer interests me. why Psychological Medicine Thank you for your inquiry. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, M— M.D. Professor of Psychiatry cc:Prof. M.

I am unable to assess this scholarship or his teaching ability since I have had no occasion to review or observe either.

There is no misunderstanding regarding reimbursement for BEG analyyes, and I am well satssfied that our relationship is sound. We ask for reimbursement where investigators have funds in their grants; or if they have private (industry) funds, we expect a higher rate of reimbursement. It has been my understanding that the studies by Gregory and Burt have not been funded and that our contribution was in the national interest. We are pleased to have been of service, and will continue to do so, when possible. Call us when you have digested the data in hand.

Helmchen Nussbaumallee 1000 Berlin 36 19 Dear Helmchen, for the reprints of your studies of the behavioral changes in epilepsy. I found the work quite good and complementary to our own interest in the effects of seizures in ECT. Over the years, I have often wondered why more epileptologists did not take advantage of the natural experiments which psychiatrists provide in the BCT process, in aleowing a study of the interrelations between degree of brain change, number and frequency of seizures, and psychopathology. When I did my principal studies of psychopathology, in the late 1950’s, not as much was known about the assessment of behavior and our work was quite coarse.Were we to do the same studies today, our methods would be more detailed and would parallel your efforts more closely. Thank you I also enclose a reprint of our recent study of the EEG effects of phenytoin. It shows clearly that there is an intimate relation between plasma level of phenytoin and BEG response. I think the failure of many physicians to get behavioral effects in patients with neurosis may be due to the low levels they used. Again, my thanks for your help. My best regards.

Waugh, M.D. Department of orthopedic Surgery York University Medical Center New New York City Dear Dr. Waugh, RE: Jan Volavka, M.D. I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation in support of the appointment of Jan Volavka, M.D. as Professor of Psychiatry. I have known of his work since 1966, and I was instrumental in providing a place for him in the United States when the Russians overran Czechoslovakia in 1957. He joined my staff at the New York Medical College and worked with me until I left in 1972. Thereafter he moved to Missouri, where he worked in the laboratories-at the Missouri Institute of Psychiatry which I had established in 1962~ 1966.‘ He Volavka is a personable and unusually talented researcher. is a trained psychiatrist and physiologist, and has skills in computer vDr. sciences, electroencephalography and statistics. While with me, he made interesting contributions to our studies of the effects of ECT on brain function, the.EBG effects of cannabis, and the relations between EEG measures and behavior. He has since made important contributions in the study of opioids and endorphins, and he is best known for his studies of the relations between genetic markers (XXY and XYY) and EEG variables. The latter studies have been in progress in Denmark for mere than a decade. He is an independent investigator, with innovative ideas and unusual skills and talents. His writings are clear and definitive. He has managed patients and treatment units with ease, and he is well liked by his co-workers. I commend him, without reservation, for appointment as Professor. (Indeed, I did the same in recommending him for a position at this University a few years ago, when he decided to go to St. Louis.)

V"...we: November 2, 1979 Peter T. Loosen, M.D. Dorothea Dix Hospital Raleigh, NC 27611 Dear Peter. Thank you for the two articles, on the oral treatment of depressed patients with 80 mg TRH and the review of peptide effects. I had seen the Karlberg et al article, but in light of our discussion, I should be disappointed and assume that the likelihood that TRH over three weeks would be significantly antidepressant. Yet, the many observations including the three patients who responded in this series, suggests that we may be close, as close as the early workers were with l-dopa in parkin- son patients. For the meanwhile, I have decided not to replicate the study; but rather to try with two of the newer peptides, DGAVP and des-Tyr-gammaendorphin, to assess their central (EEG) effects. My associate, Yiannis Papakostas has been carrying out stimulation tests and dexamethadone—cortisol tests in every one of our depressed patients, referred for drug therapy or BCT. So far, in the first 15 patients, he has found more consistent DM-cortisol abnormalities which resolve with treatment, than TRH-TSH but the latter do occur in about 1/3 the cases, and he is confirming the observations of TSH blunted response in some depressed. He is using our schizophrenic patients as controls, and we are particularly interested in the ECT group. TRH-TSH It was kind of you to think of me, and my thanks.

Dear Alan, Thank you ; E ' ’ E n { E I i r for sending of beta-adrenergic receptors as a me your report on the subsensitivity test for antidepressant drug activity. report is quite interesting and well done, but like other such efforts,which seek a single test to define 'antidepressant' activity, seems to fail in not being inclusive. The problems with such efforts are many, but the principal one highlighted by this report is the expectation that a single system is involved in treatments as diverse as BCT, TCAD, MAOI, stimulants, etc., just because these various systems seem to be useful in relieving a single symptom. Is it not likely that the various 'depression' syndromes reflect different mechanills, just like fever and headache may reflect different underlying pathophysiologies The course, that mianserin did not fit within the model leads to the speculation that perhaps mianserin is not an antidepressant But, as you are well aware, it is also possible that the single system studied is not general enough to be related to the syndrome of depression. I am confident that mianserin is an antidepressant, not because of its clinical evidence, but because its EEG profile in man is so like amitryptiline, that it will have the same or similar effects on brain function, and in depressed patients, should have the same behavioral effects as seen ﬁith amitryptiline. To the extent that amitryptiline is "antidepressant', so is mianserin. Of I I b E ? liberty of sending your report to my studies, Dr. J. J. de Ridder of Gas, Holland, with a note that he may write to you if he wishes additional information. I would be grateful if you would oblige his inquiries, if any.

Weiner, M.D., Ph.D. V.A. Hospital Durham, North Carolina 27705 Dear Rich, After a hectic few months, I have finally had the time to read the many reports and papers that have been on my desk since my holidays. Among these, was the report "ECT and Seizure Threshold" as presented at the Society of Biological Psychiatry. The paper is quite good, reflecting many more cases than I thought had been studied. There is little that I can argue with in the data, but there questions inherent in the attitudes expressed. As I understand the study. it is an assessment of two aspects of induction, electrode placement and electric currents, with a number of criteria—- duration of seizure (or seizure threshold). degree of amnesia, total energy, are some clinical efficacy. Others have carefully documented that electrode placement alters clinical outcome little, but does reduce the degree of amnesia and alters the type of disorganization in neuropsychological tests. But the evidence for different effects for brief stimuli is still sparse. In Weaver's recent studies, he found that his LEBS delivered less joules to the 'head', but he could not demonstrate a difference either in clinical assessments or in degree or type of amnesia. In similar and . fashion, the present report also fails to define such differences. Yet, in a number of places, the implication is raised that brief stimulus treatment (MBCTA) is 'better'. For example, on page 1, you combine two thoughts in one sentence: "Two modifications of BCT technique; lateralized brain stimulation via unilateral electrode placement and the use of brief pulse stimuli have made it possible to diminish the severity of side-effects . . ." Again, on page 8: "No difference in suprathreshold seizure duration on the basis of stimulus waveform was found, suggesting that not only are the seizures with brief pulse stimuli produced by lower amount of electrical energy, but also that they are equivalent in terms of potency. . ." Now, the word 'potency' is not defined; I know you mean potency to deliver a seizure, but then, could it not mean potency in clinical terms ? This is compounded by the phrase (page 9, top) ". . and thereby possibly less therapeutically potent.9 I agree that a detailed test of the MECTA machine (or other brief stimulus) is needed, but the assessment should indicate the number of patients treated, the number of missed inductions, the number of seizure �Richard D. Weiner, M.D., Ph.D. ...... November 5, 1979 ......... page 2 seconds, changes in depression ratings, tests of neuropsychological functions, etc. Much of this has already been done for unilateral and bilateral electrode placements, and the evidence is quite compelling. Similar assessments need be done for brief stimuli, and until these are done cleanly, the equivalent efficacy of brief stimuli and safety in side— effects will remain open questions. Perhaps, such an assessment can be the basis of a collaborative and I would urge you to work with Dick Abrams to fermulate a useful protocol. I would hope that the issues (induction factors, assessment factors) will be defined carefully. effort, Again, My thanks for sharing these progress reports with for the delay in reading. my me, and my apologies regards.

You note that the patient. with a long history of recurrent depressive illness, received nitrezepam, lorszepsm, and misuserin on admission for "a further episode or depression precipitated by the death of her husband." Hitresepsm was stepped soon thereafter; and for six weeks she received lorszepem and misneerin. Three days before a seizure, she stopped her lorszepsm. You conclude that this episode suggests that misnserin may have epileptogenic features, and caution physicians in prescribing misnserin in patients with a history of seizures. Was the possibility of the seisure as secondary to the withdrawal of benzodissepines ruled out as an explanation for the seizure? If so, how?

May w. Newburger N.Y.S. Assembly Albany, New York Dear Ms. Newburger, It was kind of you to remark on my award for my 25 years of research into the mode of action if convulsive therapy. I hesitate to presume on this kindness, but in the same mail, copies of legislation being considered by the Assembly Ways 8 Means Committee came to my attention which led to this ﬂatter. The proposed legislation ire amendments to the mental hygiene law establishing standards for consent and disclosure for the administration of psychosurgery and convulsive therapy (Amendments to Sections 33.03). The amendments for ECT are badly intentione-, seeking to deprive the mentally ill of the State of this specifically effective and safe form of treatment. The regulations propose to make more difficult the task of administering treatments to voluntary hespdtdiized patients and to render almost impossible to administer the treatment to involuntary patients. The law is patterned after legislation in California, which has led to the present traffic of patients from California going to Oregon and New Mexico for treatment. This, of course, provides that only the wealthy and self—insured are able to obtain this treatment. The legislation is based on the erroneous belief that convulsive therapy is unsafe and ineffective; the contrary being true, since all evidence finds that this therapy is the most effective and the safest for endogenous depression. In our 1976 survey, 5% of admissions to University centers in New York City received this treatment (and only 1% of admissions in V.A. and State facilities; clearly evidence of some reasoned use at University settings.) The amendment for psychosurgery is also flawed. This treatment is still an experimental one, and is at present only available in Descarch setting where cases are reviewed by Institutional Review Boards. The legislation adds additional onerous requirements for consent, making the research even more difficult. At this time, the reports from Great Britain suggest that this therapy has a usefulness with patients with severe obsessive compulsive and phobic states. Thése data need verification. The legislation will serve to reduce the studies, not encourage them. �Hon. May Newburger......... November 7, 1979 .......... page 2 I hope that you will have an opportununity to review these proposed laws and do what you can to prevent their adoption.

Work, H.D. Deputy Medical Director APA 1700 Eighteenth washington, D.C. St. N.W. Dear Henry, EEG Thank you Society guidelines for the opportunity to in EEG, 1976. comment on the American Clinical electroencephalography is a discipline which is more than 50 years old. Mich information has been extracted from EEG recordings by clinical and research neurologists and psychiatrists; and yet, there remains a divergence of opinion in different centers retarding the applications of this methodology. The disagreements are not related to technical equipment, since these are quite sophisticated and reasonably foolproof. Much of the discordance seems to relate to the differences in montages used, controls for recording, location of electrodes, and measurements made. The awareness of the divergence in skills of recordists and eiectroencephalographers led.the American EEG Society to establish a Board for qualification, training courses for recordists and readeree and these guidelines. The guidelines are an amalgam of many opinions, and there are many fine points with which one could argue. In breadth of detail, in sensitivity to the need for adequate training and the realities of what the marketplace would hear, and as a service to our profession, the guidelines seem excellent and servicable. I believe they should be adopted by the APA,~and recommended to our membership. There are many institutions, particularly those proprietary hospitals without academic affiliations, and the State and V.A. hospital systems which may find the recommendations onerous, even expensive, but in fairness to their patients and with the optimism that the best medical care should be provided all Americans, these guidelines are a small step in upgrading an important service. I recommend endorsement.

As we discussed, these samples seem to represent the four montages of a single session in each of four subjects. It is not possible to determine 'drug effects' from such a sample, and when you reach the investigators again, you may indicate that the need is for serial records, taken with bee same montage, preferably at the same time of day and with some control for the state of vigilance of the subject.

It is an important contribution to our growing awareness that ECT may have some long-term etfects on behavior and death rates. Mbst impressive, is the careful follow-up and the contribution to our assessment of schisopffective disorders. I interpret the finding as another clue to the inclusion of schizoaffective disorders under the rubric of depressive disorders, and not schizophrenia. I look fbrward to the succeeding reports cited in the article. Good luck in your year in England. I hope that you will have opportunity to consult with those scientidts assessing the effects of ECT in Britain. Apparently, the Royal College has received a grant to assess the long-term effects of ECT and your skills would surely some be helpful. My best regards.

As you know, the findings seem contrary to the studies which we and Ulett gg_al. published in the 1950's.

Your findings remain inexplicable in the face of our experience, and perhaps the best explanation may lie in the question raised by Jan-Otto Ottosson. He notes that not every seizure is full in the brain, and indeed, in our studies of the EEG effects of ECT and flurothyl seizures, we did find patients in whom the EEG changes were astonishingly small compared to others; yet we believed we had achieved full seizures and had measured their duration. While this remains a conjecture at this Junction. may be an explanation, it In our study of subconvulsive—convulsive ECT, we used a minimum of 12 seizures and our data fell compellingly on the side of sonvulsive therapy being more effective than subconvulsive. The best description is found in my book which has Just been published by Raven Press. Your data are puzzling and one would hope that in addition to your further studies of differenttcurrents on the ECT process, that the mesurement of the seizure itself may be done to assess whether the differences in outcome may be related to ancettbeal difference—~ shorter EEG seizure time, less spiking activity, gtg_as suggested by Ottosson. regret that I find in the aftermath of your study is Dr. Kalinowsky to harangue the psychiatric readership the opportunity given with his antipathy to unilateral ECT. I cannot believe that this factor alone explained the difference in outcome, but perhaps it was a factor. (Our studies and those of Ulett were with bilateral electrodes.) The only These thoughts are inconclusive, as you can tell. I think your study well done and I congratulate you and Dr. Gill on carrying out. I can only hope that you will persevere to explain the difference between your findings and some of the others in the literature. it Good luck in your work.

Many members of the staff are involved in research efforts which had their origins in the enthusiasms of the past two decades. The Division Directors have recognized the nature of these ifforts, and seek to broaden the ex— perience of the staff. One of the issues which has been prominent this year, is that of the developments in psychoneuroendocrinology. In this regard, we have invited Peter Stokes, Arthur Prange, Bernard Carroll to lecture to our staff. Both Dr. Harvey Karten and I have been interested in studies of the effects of peptides on behavior and we are interested in your experiences and the development of the concepts underlying the activity of endorphinsﬁ:opiate receptoss with their possible effects on behavior. No work of this kind is in progress at this time. The closest is our EEG studies of ACTH fragments and the studies of des-Tyr—f-endorphin which will begin in the next few weeks. we would be delighted to have you describe your present theories. It would be particularly helpful if you could help us see this work in the context of the developing science. work and Sincerely yours, Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry Max � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since neither the case description, the intervention, nor the outcome criteria are described, it is not possible to assess the success of this "intervention".

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

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

Washington, D.C. 20009 Dear 26,;“511979 1 , '4 \\ Fritz, Ten days ago I shared the platform at the 100th anniversary celebration of St. Vincent's Hospital at Harrison with Tony O'Connell. In chatting about the-Journal, Comprehensive Psychiatry, I came to understand that the publisher was requiring a long lead time for articles. A few days later I was in my publisher's office, Dr. Alan Edelson of Raven Press, reviewing the progress with my book. He talked about a number of new Journals that he was setting up and asked what I thought about a new Journal in psychiatry or psychopharmacology. Believing that only a very good new Journal would serve a useful purpose, and recognizing the effort that went into such a venture, I thdught that he might do better by taking over a Journal that was already active, but one that could use his drive and publishingoslills. I mentioned respect for Comprehensive Psychiatry and the little history that knew. Yesterday, I-received a letter in which he asked whether I could tell him any more about the Journal. my I I have no knowledge of the arrangements with Stratton, or your satisfaction with them. If there is an opportunity to consider moving the Journal to another publisher, and if you think it may be useful, would you like to meet with Dr. Edelson to explore the possibilities ? At the least, he is an excellent host and raconteur. Let My me know. best regards. Sincerely yours, ,.

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

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

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

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

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

I know the Clinic and there is a good research base, good equipment, and some financing-- but it is a state school which will always remain in the shadow of the Mental Health Institute in AnnArbor, both in reputation and funding, and in status with the legislature (not to mention location).

From these data, I think we can understand that the varied reports of the efficacy of this compound in the treatment of the mentally 111 may have resulted from inadequate dosage“ poor compliance with resulting plasma levels that were possibly inadequate for the induction of changes in brain function. If these findings are to be trusted (and I think they should be), then we are justified in undertaking additional studies of phenytoin in cases of neurotic depression and anxiety, monitoring the plasma levels so that persistent levels of at least Sag/ml are maintained.

Kipfer, I am pleased to write this letter on behalf of Dr. Richard Abrams who is being considered for the position of Chairman, wayne State University Department of Psychiatry. I met Dr. Abrams when he returned from service to complete his psychiatric residency training at thehisNewmilitary York Medical College in 1966. Based on his experience with ECT in the Army, we designed a study of ECT which was funded by the NIMH and which was done at the Gracie Square Hospital. The work was done between 1967 and 1972. During that time, Dr. Abrams completed his residency with distinction, and Joined our staff as a staff psychiatrist. In rapid progression, he became the chief of the inapatient unit at Metropolitan Hospital, and then moved to Stony Brook where he directed the University service at Central Islip Psychiatric Center. In 1976, he moved to the Chicago Medical School with Dr. Michael Taylor. is an outstanding clinician, researcher and work has been innovative and with Dr. Taylor, they have challenged some of the diagnostic concepts which have been {current for a number of decades. Their work on the identification of / mania, catatonia and bipolar disease is exemplary. ~teaeher. His Dr. Abrams clinical In his teaching, Dr. Abrams has shown excellent skills, particulary in encouraging resdients to undertake research projects. A record is seen in the long list of publications which he has with Junior personnel. Another evidence has been his rapid rise in academic grade, from assistant professor, 1971-197h, associate 197h-1976 and progessor since d976. In his research, he has exhibited skill and a of the literature. His work in convulsive therapy,thorough in directing the ECT studies under MB 15561, has resulted in many publications, particularly regarding the efficacy of unilateral and multiple ECT, the changes in EEG and biochemical parameters, and effects on memory. knowledge �-2. His Joint efforts in psychopathology with Dr. Taylor have already to, and it is in this effort that he has shown excellent been alluded skills. Finally, his administrative experience also encourages his consideration for the position of leadership. At the time that he took the position of director of the University Service at Central Islip Psychiatric Center, the unit was little more than a back ward in a primitive state hospital. By the expenditure of much effort and travail, he impaoved the staffing, trained personnel, obtained the support of the adminsitration, and with the aid of the resdlents, developed a fine teaching unit, which served to treat patients and as a source of publications and research. (It is fair to say that his successors have been unable to maintain the high stand— ard of academic excellence which he established.) It is clear that Dr. Abrams has the academic, clinical research experience to undertake the position of chairman at wayne State University in psychiatry, and I recommend him highLy.

From these -observations, it seems to me that there must be an influence on some centrencephalic structure, an influence which is expressed after a number of seizures, and therefore in the persistent biochemical changes. It has been the influence of the neuroendocrinologists that suggests the next step in the process. The neuroendocrine changes which mark endogenous depression have been defined in part; and in your excellent review of the predictors of ECT, you noted that the vegetative symptoms are the best predictors of ECT outcome. These observations, plus the notes on changes in calcium metabolism and the btood brain barrier have led me (and others, as Jan Otto Ottosson) to define the present view of the mode of action of convulsive therapy in terms of the hypothalamic effects. Surely, in relation to our knowledge of the mode of action of other psychiatric therapies, we are farther along in convulsive therapy, and a ummary of your views is the only omission in your report which I missed. other question of persistent concern is the role of It is not clear from the literature whether such treatments are effective, for whom, and at what rates.

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

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

November 7, 1978 Lothar Kalinowsky, M.D. 30 East 76 Street New York City 10021 Dear Lothar, It was a pleasure working with you once again in explaining the progress in convulsive therapy. I was pleased by the presentations and by the audience response, but was disappointed that the time was so limited. Nevertheless, I believe the message was clear, and the discussion indicated that the process of exploration by the Task Force and the interaction with the community was successful. Thank you for your contribution. I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for the splendid copy of your first edition. It is a welcome addition to my library of works on convulsive therapy, and I will treasure it. My best regards.

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