Dear Dr. Kellner,
We would be pleased to assist you in the development of both research and
clinical skills in convulsive therapy, and agree to supervise your education at
University Hospital at Stony Brook for a period that is mutually satisfactory.
in response to the prevailing need for education in ECT practices, we have
developed a five-day, 'hands-on' ECT course. Our first class of four psychiatrists
and two nurses went through the course in February, and we have scheduled a
second course the week of May 16. A description of the course is enclosed. The fee
for psychiatrists is $1,500.

On occasion, we have had fellows attend our service for periods of up to
two months, and would be willing to do so again. in addition to our active ECT
teaching and treatment programs, our research programs in ECT include:

ECT and Antipsychotic drugs in Patients with Positive-Symptom Psychosis
(Schizophrenia).
Comparison of etomidate and methohexital anesthesia: Inﬂuence on seizure

duration.
Pentylenetetrazol vs Caffeine in Altering Seizure Duration.
Electrophysiology of seizures: Comparison of Brief pulse, Sinusoidal
currents, and Pentylenetetrazol enhanced seizures.
Relations between Neuropsychological changes and the duration of
isoelectric EEG period after seizures.
Effect of ECS and antipsychotic drugs on blood brain barrier.
Effect of ECS on brain catecholamines in animals with learned
helplessness.

Finally, wt edit the journal CONVULSIVE THERAPY and manage the
CONVULSIVE THERAPY DATABASE from these offices.
Good luck in your program.

Sincerely yours,
Max Fink, M.D.

Professor of Psychiatry
