In the past few years I have used Freedman and thlen's Textbook of Psychiatry; the volumes by Lance Simpson, Beldesserini, and lately, the one edited by Berchss et s1.

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

The evidence from Shagass, Itil, Saletu and others on the for drug assessment indicates that the AEP is an insensitive measure, unreliable and not easily quantified. For clinical diagnosis, the issue is far from clear, but as I said above, I am singularly unimpressed. (In 196h966, Itil and I worked tdgether on the problem of IEP and drug effects. I found the methods unsatisfactory, and did not proceed further. He went on with a student, Saletu to study the problem up to 1973.

I was surprised that you Ashton was willing to take on the important issue of EEG dissociation and behavior in a report with five subjects and in which other methods of measurement of brain function were not assessed. After all, the principal argument among pharmacologists regarding brain function measures has been that of 'association' or 'dissociation'. That Dr. Ashton is willing to come out on the side of the issue with such incomplete and imprecise data is disappointing.

As for Dr. Gildea, I knew him slightly. When I went to St. Louis in July of 1962, I had met Dr. Gildea in a number of on ECT and the meetings at washington University that spring. He recommended my appointment ts Research Professor and supported it at the faculty sessions. Unfortunately, he retired that fall and his successor, Eli Robins was appointed very promptly. I heard some stories about Dr. Gildea's stewardship of the Department, but I have no personal memorabilia. My mentor in St. Louis was Dr. George Ulett and he was a student of Dr. Gildea's.

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

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

Is there do you have a population of monkeys that have smoked tobacco under the same conditions ? That seems to me to be an obvious control. Another, what of monkeys that have smoked THC free material ? If the slides are mixed between control monkeys and those exposed to cannabis, what is the frequency of identification that an observer can make of the effects that you cite as the result of cannabis smoking 7 What evidence is there from studies in man of these findings of some you. ? In any case, I am honored that you think my opinion is It is kind of you to send me the reports and I thank merit. As a matter of record, I have spent the past few years reviewing my studies of ECT and have Just written an extensive review of the problem, which will be published by Raven Press of New York in January as convulsive Therapy: Theory and Practice. In reviewing the extensive literature and assessing the data, it has been possible to develop a reasonable theory of the mode of action of ECT; It is clear that this major treatment is an analog of pharmacotherapy and that its action is not dependent on any of the physical elements of the treatment but purely on the biochemical changes induced in the brain. It has been a surprise to me that the leaders of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and other august societies have shunned this treatment. I have learned much from the assessment and I hope that you will have a chance to look at the volume when My it appears. best regards.

Mr. Justice Royal Commission New South Wales FROM: Woodward, Commissioner into Drug Trafficking Fink, M. D. Professor of Psychiatry School of Medicine, State University of Max I am New York at Stony pleased to respond to the invitation to discuss with dependence producing drugs to assist the Commission in regarding the trafficking of proscribed drugs. My its my Brook experience recommendations experience is based on a six year study of the pharmacologic effects of cannabis and cannabis derivatives, both in volunteers in the U.S. and in chronic users in Athens, Greece. I have also studied the efficacy of narcotic antagonists in the treatment of opiate dependence. In these studies, begun in 1966 and continued to 1973, I have administered heroin, methadone and levomethadyl to opiate dependent subjects; and examined the pharmacologic interactions of the narcotic antagonists cyclazocine effects and and naloxone with opioids. I am.Professor of Psychiatry ate the School of Medicine at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. At the time of the studies discussed today, I was Professor of Psychiatry and Director, Division of Biological Psychiatry at the to the National New York Medical College; and a consultant Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, the Veterans Administration, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. ‘ �this time permit At me to make a number of generalizations about the pharmacology of these compounds.

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

Grozier, M.D. Knoll Pharmaceutical Co. 30 N. Jefferson Road Whippany, NJ 07981 Dear Mike, Thank you for sending me the copy of the therapeutic notes on Metrazol and the reference list. In checking with my files, I find that I have quoted and referenced most of the articles dealing with my forthcoming book. It was helpful to as an independent check on my scholarship. psychiatric treatment in have the list It is of interest that this publication fails to cite the seizure therapy use of Metrazol. The citations are up to l9h6, so I estimate that by that time this use of the drug had ceased, reflecting the greater ease and safety of ECT. The volume "Convulsive Therapy? Theory and Practice" will appear after the first of the new year, from Raven Press in New York. I think you will be pleased with the Metrazol citations and discussion. soon There are some suggestions as to the usage of Metrazol in the treatment of some patients today. My regards.

The only question from your second letter that is confusing of is that the designation of left occipital-vertex leads according to the International (10-20) placement.

In the meanwhile, I have put my hand to a draft of a report on clozapine which still needs much work. I will send you a draft when it is available. I am becoming convinced that our EEG profiles are more compelling, in the light of the ancillary clinical and pharamacologic evidence, that the clinical Judgements that clozapine is an 'antipsychotic' are probably wrong. It is indeed unfortunate that clozapine has been withdrawn for in the clinical marketplace, it is likely (I believe) that the practitioners would have rejected its antipsychotic designation and found its utility, which was seen if at all, in depression.andThat was the fate of doxepin of experience, was the marketplace only in first as an anxiolytic, EEG had designation determined the (after its antidepressant activity been made, I must add.)

Eaton. Nebraska 1, 1978 M.D. Psychiatric Institute University of Nebraska Medical Center 602 South 45th mm. Dear Nebraska Street 68106 Merrill: Don Swanson-Joined our facllty about l974 as a psychiatrist in the Research Unit at the V.A. Hospital at Northport. He exhibited skills of a well trained psychiatrist and assumed responsibilities for the patients and the projects then ongoing. He was interested and did a commendable Job. At the time however the V.A., in one of its periodic episodes of conscience, restricted the activity of all physicians who did not have a state license. Dr. Swanson found that his activities were so severely restricted that both he and I agreed that he would do better for his good to process licensure immediately. He correctly felt that the demands were excessive and returned to South Africa. that he worked very well, and that his skills were suitable to our needs. I regretted his decision and recommended his reappointment when and if he decided to return. I believe he is a skilled physician and should do well in any position requiring clinical ability both in-patient and out-patient. we had no opportunity to determine his skills as a teacher, but I would be willing to take a chance on that score as well. I found I am r pleased to recommend him to your. Sincerely yours. i § Max Fink.

Member I have known of Jovan's work since 1965 when he came to at the Missouri Institute of Psychiatry. His early training was dedicated to the problems of adult psychopharmacology and he carried out numerous studies of the clinical and laboratory effects of compounds. His interests soon focussed on the problems of join me pediatric psychopharmacology and since 1970, his emphasis has been in the assessment of the effects of compounds in children. He has made some important methodologic additions to the usual assessment, defining the importance of videotape recording and analysis, and of the evoked potential in assessing drug effects. His recent interest has been in the effects of cromolyn sodium on hyperkinesis-— an innovative and novel approach to the problem of the definition and treatment of this commpn disorder. He has assumed responsibility for the clinical and research programs in pediatric psyuhopharmacology in Ottawa. In a recent visit to his center, I was impressed with the variety of studies underway, and the enthusiasm and training of his associates.

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

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

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

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

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

Durham, NC Durham V.A. 1978 weiner, M.D., Ph.D. Hospital Dear Dr. Weiner, It was kind of you to spend so much time with me on Thursday and to share your recent experiences with me. I very much enjoyed the oppdrtunity to get to know pdur work better and I do hope that you will continue your studies into ECT. It would be nice to work on a collaborative study program at the V.A. I have read your report on the elctrodes for ECT and an answering your request for comments. I am puzzled by the thrust of It describes the theoretical basis for the difficulties occasionally seen in the induction of seizures. Since most therapists are successful in inducing seizures without detailed attention to the issues that you describe, it is likely that these npoblems are of small magnitude in clinical practice. They are of considerable magnitude in research programs, particularly those which attempt to dissect the factors in the setsure which may be important. the paper. The recommendations on page ll are really research recommendations. Clinicians can safely ignore these details if they monitor the seizure. Ultimately, no clinician is going to be concerned with the details of the induction. He will be satisfied (as will you and I) that he has induced a therapeutic event. The simplest way of guaranteeing this is the use of a blood pressure cuff. The article is an excellent introduction to your research protocol and as the basis for understanding the differences in observations between different observers. I do not see it as a publishable paper in its present form without additional observations and data. Again, my thanks for your time. I hope you write the V.A. about the collaborative studies. Let me know what happens. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, M.D. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On each of these occasions, I learned much and was impressed with his knowledge of brain function and memory. When asked fer recommendations for a panel being organized NIMH assess the status of ECT, I recommended Larry and he becamebya paneltomember. Later, when asked to recommend a scientific consultant to the Task Force on Convulsive Therapy of the American Psychiatric Association, I again recommended Larry.

While most of his emphasis in the past few years has been in the EC? process, I think his interest is broader, in the memory process itself. To this end, he has undertaken studies of amnesia fellowing surgery, trauma, and in systematic studies in animal experiments. His work has consistently been well designed, carefully done, statistically sound, and with the most reasonable controls.

Hatem Al~Chalabi, M.D. June 12, 1977 Suffolﬂ Developmental Center Box 788 Melville, New York Dear Dr. Al—Chalabi, I have read your proposal, to study the effects of lithium therapy on aggressive, disruptive and self-mutilating behavior in patients with mental deficiency (severe). In the main, the intent is clear, the issues well thought out, the misSion important, and the safety well within the margins ordinarily set by our community. Indeed, I can find only two questions of merit. Selecting dosages of lithium that will yield plasma mBq/l is a goal that is set in the study. While these levels may be necessary, I think that the conservative approach within a new setting is to set a lower level as the goal, one within the therapeutic range, but surely not associated with side effects, such as 1.0 mBq/l. If there is no therapeutic efficacy or toxicity at these levels in 3 to 6 subjects, then the higher level can be set for the remainder of the sample. If you already have experience at these lower levels, then this conservative step may not be necessary. levels of 1.5 The second issue is that of consent. The protocol does not discuss this issue; one that is a problem since the population is made up of minors with mental deficiency. A consent form should be prepared for the relatives, describing the goal and methods of the study. These comments are my own. Should you wish to have hhe advice of the Research Committee of the Department of Psychiatry and the Long Island Research Institute, I would suggest you send a revised copy of the protocol, with your curriculum vitae and the consent form to the Chairman of the Department, Stanley Yolles, M. D., and he may refer it to the appropriate committee. Good luck in your study.

I, too, have had patients with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotic drugs who complained that they were less interested in going home than we thought they should be. A discussion showed that impotence was a factor. In my I have had more experience with sexual stimulating drugs. work with opiates (also sexual downers and heroin was regularly associated with impotence), I used the narcotic antagonists cyclazocine We found that patients on cyclazocine showed increased libido, aggressiveness to nurses, and even priapism. We were not sure at first whether it was a direct result of cyclazocine or the blocihde of the negative effects of heroin. In an experiment in depressed patients, cyclazocine also stimulated libido, but here, also, we could not be sure it was a direct resuly of cyclazocine or a result of the relief of depression. When we tried the effects of nalozdne, the findings were never clear. These data were reported by Alfred Freedman about 1972—73. and naloxone. studies of chronic hashish users in Athens, of #7 long-term insisted that hashish use improved libido, performance, and potency.

If you have such a with regard to depressed patients responded to drug therapy seduced sample, I would agree that the data should be published. However, one should be sure that the ECT was given under conditions that meet present standards for ECT therapy. Were the number of treatments adequate ? What assurance was given that missed seizures were re—treated ? Was the diagnosis confirmed by an outside observer or adequate history ? I can recall no recent report of such an outcome (since the reverse sequence, drugs followed by Your who my ECT, failed to respond to is the most common). The second question is difficult to answer. There is no to show that ECT makes neurotics worse. The predictor studies (Mendels, Carney, Hobson) all show that the more psychotic the patient is, the better the clinical result; the obverse can be inferred, the more neurotic (higher anxiety, less delusion), the poorer the clinical result. There is also the problem that many patients labelled 'neurotic' are labelled so because of an unclear clinical picture, and they may develop into 'schizophrenic' patients at a later date. This group also suggests that the less psychotic or the less like a standard psychotic picture the patient presents, the poorer the clinical results.

John C. Kramer, H.D. August 22, 1977 University of California Irvine, California Dear John, NIMH I will continue to be optimistic that the funding from will yet come through; but will answer your inquiry in the meantime. The book on the Greek study was published in July and should be available within the next few weeks. In it, as in the prior Jamaica study, and the one from Costa Rica to follow, there is little evidence that chronic hashish (ganja) smoking has any long— term effects. These observations are in direct contrast to the earlier literature, particularly from India and Egypt; and the more recent reports from these countries by Souief and Chopra. Their latest data may be found in the 1976 conference proceedings (New York Academy of Sciences, vol 282, edited by Dornbush, Freedman and Fink) where these authors cite large numbers of psychotic cases which they ascribe to hashish use. Not only do they cite evidence for psychosis, but criminality (other than possession of hashish) as well. Chopra does not limit his findings to patients in hospitals in India: he says that in interviews with drug users (site ?) he made the observations. Souief worked in prisons, so his population also is not a hospitalized one. I would resphrase the question: Considering the differences in incidence of behavioral abnormality, including psychmsis, reported from India and Egypt compared to the studies in Jamaica, Greece, and Costa Rica, could the findings reflect differences in material smoked; in the observer ratings; in the sample populations selected for study; or in the standards used for diagnosis ? If one were to start in India, it would be important to visit Chopra and assess his populations, his methods of assessment, and the material his subjects smoked first. If some differences between the studies emerged from these observations, they can be verified in subsequent studies. If hospitalized patients are the focus of study, one could with Frank Knight in Jamaica. In the Same NY Ac Sci volume, he has a report, mostly anecdotal, but well written that there is a defined incidence of psychosis due to ganja. In Athens, Miras was still convinced that this was true, but when a Greek team visited the major mental hospital, they were unable to verify a cannabis psychosis syndrome in the patients hospitalized for a long time.

I would also suggest that you write to Dr. Chopra after reading his report and asking whether he would cooperate in other studies. Perhaps someone from NIDA is already there. If not, and Chopra is willing, I think it should then be possible to formulate Another, a proposal based on his observations (much as we did with Miras' observations) with the additional data from Szara (and perhaps Petersen).

After reading the report, which shows that the administration of a peptide derived from vasopressin will reduce the self administration schedule of rats bar pressing for opiates, I bacame very interested. It seems that this peptide has the same effect on self—administration of opioids as the administration of an opioid; yet the compound has no analgesic, respiratory, or sedating effects. It would be of My regards. interest to determine if the compound relieves drug seeking behavior in opiate dependent humans. I presented the problem to Al Freedman and he seemed interested, suggesting that I send you the reprint and arrange that we meet soon. I am scheduled to teach at the College October 5 (8 to 10 p.m.) and again October 26. If either evening is suitable for you, call me and I can come in about 3:30 or 6 p.m. for a chat.

(Incidentally, do you think I can use 'QAT' in scrabble ?) not known Your analysis of the Chopra and Knight data is excellent. these reviews I still believe the question of what they were describing is active and their samples should be re-examined. I do not know what NIDA would do_with an application now, but they are obliged to respond to every formal request for funding. From my past experience, a visit to Steve Sears and some of his co—workers is a must before a study is contumplated overseas since the funding will have to be of a contract form. It will provide a way to catch up on the latest studies and to find out what is in the pipeline (like From it If you can visit Washington, do so.

The reports of Sonic! and Chopra, however, were discordant. As you know, we have completed former associate of mine, John Kramer, has been active in research in opiates and amphetamines.

Kline, M.D. Rockiend Research Institute Orangeburg, New York 10962 Deer Nate, read the file on Dr. Vacant G. Joehi with some interest. As observations, it is that INH plus Vitamin B6 served to case of catatonia. The patient had two EEG records done, receiving INH. There was a remarkable change in the EEG, characterized by the appearance of generalized, dominant slow theta activity which became more intense with hyperventilation. Dr. Joshi notes that he has used.the combination in other schizophrenic patients with success. I am not surprised by his report. It is consistent with two sets of data. The response of catatonic patients is notoriously rapid when any change is induced in the CNS. Thus, barbiturates, amphetamines. and BCT have each been successfully used in catatonia. The most interesting is the latter, A recent report by Breakey and Kala (British Medical Jounnal 2: 357~359, 1377) finds that ECT-wcs remarkably successful in relieving more than a dozen cases of catatonia after typhoid fever. The predominant finding in ECT in the EEG is the development of high voltage slow waves in the theta range which are responsive to hyperventI have I understand his relieve a single before and while .- . ilation. The other observation is that of the association of EEG and behavior after psychoactive drugs. It is clear that any compound that alters brain function witl show its effects in the EEG, and when such effects are observed by clinicians, the EEG patterns will be clear and will follow predictable patterns. Dr. Joshi's paper suggests that the high doses of INH which he is using do have an effect on the EEG similar to BC? or antidepressant drugs. It is not possible for us to corroborate Dr. Joshi's findings. We could cooperate with other clinicians whb wish to duplicate his observations by carrying out the EEG analyses on records collected in another site, if the records are collected on tape compatible with our recorders. We also lack the funds for a research fellowship at this time, although is possible that you and the other Research Directors may be making funds for fellowships available. it and I for the opportunity to read this interesting communications congratulate Dr. Joshi on his fine observations.

Abruzzi, M.D. Fox Farm, Loon Lake Road Malone, New York Dear Dr. Abruzzi, c.v. exemplifies a rich experience. As to your questions, is difficult to know how to answer the first. For decades, various it authors have suggested that cannabis is associated with psychosis. Two theories have been stated—- that cannabis is a psychotogen, and that it Your '1iberates' psychotic tendencies that already exist. The issue is not whether cannabis is a psychotogen, for that issue is spurious. Since there is good evidence that cannabis inhalation alters brain function, it is clear that with such alteration there must be changes in behavior and there is no reason why such changes could not be manifest as psychotic symptoms. After all, the definition of psychosis is in the eye of the beholder, not in the symptoms themselves. , If you have some additional data, then why not follow established custom and present the findings and the controls ? it became clear At the New York Academy of Sciences meeting, under and Costa controlled Rica, the observers in Greece, Jamaica that conditions, could not confirm the development of psychosis in long-term users. But reporteds from India (Chopra) and Egypt (Souief) did say that psychosis was common. There is a need for someone from the U.S., with the same support that the other fOreign studies obtained, to go to India and Egypt and confirm their observations. Perhaps, a mission through your association at studies and would not do another. Good luck in your summary NYU. I you could undertake such have done my bit in such of the recent studies.

I am ebven more chagrined that the legislation was proposed by fellow Jews and supported by Mr. Landes from my community. I trust that the precedent will not lead to the expenditure of New York State funds (in short supply, it seems) to support schools in Rome for Italians, Madrid for Spanish, I am Dublin for the Irish, etc. If there should be withdrawn. bill, it is some way to withdraw yhis more places needed for New York State students, perhaps the development of Stony Brook could be advanced. We have admitted 48 students during each of the last two years. Our facilities are limited, but perhaps the funds could be replaced (those that we are told have been cut) and that such expenditure plus the Israeli funds and others yet to come would be sufficient to increase the SUNY class ? If there are I am writing not as a member of the SUNY faculty, but as a citizen of the State, as a parent, and as a Jew.
