Abstract

Results of insulin shock therapy in a series of schizophrenic patients are described, together with the chief complications encountered and their treatment. The variegated clinical symptomatology during treatment is discussed with particular reference to attempts at delimiting different types of shock. The prognosis in individual cases is shown to be related to the type of psychosis and to the duration of symptoms.
