Abstract
One psychotic pregnant female was treated by electroshock therapy between the fourth and sixth months of pregnancy, without the use of supplementary medication. A total of 17 treatments, with major convulsions, was given. This patient went into labor at the normal time, and a normal baby girl was delivered by Caesarian section. At this time procedures for sterilization were carried out, at the request of her husband.Follow-up in this case reveals a normal, healthy infant and a mother who has, apparently, fully recovered.Abstract Teaser
