Braff, M.D. Chairman, Membership Committee Society of Biological Psychiatry UC-San Diego San Diego, CA 92103-1990 Dear Dr. Braff, I have been acquainted for about four years with the work of Dr. Chittaranjan Andrade of the National Institute of Mental Health and Sciences of India. He is a talented investigator who has tackled a topic of little concern among neuroscientists, that of the behavioral effects of induced seizures in man. He, and his associates Drs. B. Gangadhar, G. Swamineth, and S. Channabasavanna have been very productive in their research into clinical ECT. Dr. Andrade also spent a fellowship year in Vienna with Drs. Ianger and Koinig in studies of neuroendocrine effects of ECT. Dr. Andrade and his associates were instrumental in organizing the first Conference VAll-India on ECT this Fall; a meeting which I understand was most successful in highlighting the national progress in clinical use and research into this hardly used therapy. There was a time when the Society of Biological Psychiatry (formed as a union of biological, electroshock, insulin coma, and carbon dioxide specialists) was interested in ECT. If that is still true, then Dr. Andrade is a fine example of the new breed of clinician/researchers whose work should be encouraged; membership in a US. organized society may do much for him, and I recommend him highly to the Society. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD. Professor of Psychiatry 19505, a winner of the first A.E. Bennett Award, and winner of the Gold Medal Award of the Society. PS. I have been a Fellow of the Society since the � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
