While I would like to be cooperative, it is difficult to do so. We are not a source of film or video materials, but we are members of an academic department of psychiatry at a medical school. As such, we have collected some materials for our students and teaching, and have, at these available to others, including radio and television. We do not do so for stated fees, but will cooperate if the objective is within our missions as educators. As such, we ordinarily serve as consultants. As such, we usually obtain our satisfaction in our teaching, and to a lesser extent in the fees for our time. From time to time, we have been asked to allow the media to film our patients, before, during, and after treatment. We generally are able to obtain patient and family cooperation and for such efforts we generally ask that they be paid at prevailing commercial acting or consulting rates. If you wish our help, you or one of your associates should discuss the details of your proposed programming, and we visit us to be will try to responsive as to what we can provide. times, made Singzzzjy .4 Fink, yours, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry �7.. _ - I [- ' " ‘ "W“ 7 mw‘l‘w‘wmvv'nw-mm”m‘ r..me .mvr . .r—WW- nrw—w' m“ - / H J ’m V—m"'w aura—w“ -1.“ , , V . . .... .;,.,... .. j. u- .. .. w V— w , u—v «a “Nu-rm. :.'wrw"mwm"—tyrw-p—rwm // April 10, 1989 Dr. Wolfgang Kudrnofsky Gsterreichischer Rundfunk Wiirzburggasse 30 1136 VIENNA AUSTRIA Dear "Dr. Kudrnofsky, Over the years I have collected documentaries of ECT and Metrazol shock therapy, and recently I made some videotapes for my students and patients. Our materials have been used by the major American television networks and BBC. The source of the older material is diverse and the quality fair to poor. It would be necessary to see the material and if any is of interest, we can then decide on how best to get consent from the sources for your reproduction. The recent material is also diverse. 1 have academically made 'teaching' tapes, some abstracts of commercial tapes, case material of interviews of patients before and after ECT, and finally, two commercially made videotapes developed as teaching tools for our students and our patients. For our patients, the tapes are used in obtaining 'informed' consent for electroshock therapy. It would be useful to know what use is planned for these materials; the anticipated size of the audience; number of reproductions; whether you are requesting our tapes for your editing, or whether our participation in the presentation is also requested. —- 1 do not have lobotomy or insulin coma films but am acquainted with of sources old films, made for teaching purposes. can be reached most mornings at 516-4“; 2929; and most afternoons and evenings at 516 862 6651.

The expenses and fees for such consultation depends on the demands in time and effort. 1 am not sure that we can obtain lobotomy films but there are some sources if the program requires specific footage. that we can try Since rely yours, Max Fink, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
