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. (see JANA, 2/6/78. pg 510). 1 va. ,- mcwml-wu- m- It seems that you may wish his bias and selection criteria. citation of the literature. on to challenge your senior editor The readership deserves a better Sincerely yours, NWWW Imus—arm . .awv§-§'_,V' u.
