FURTHER STUDIES ON SHORT COURSES OF ELECTRIC SHOCK TREATMENTS
NATHAN SAVITSKY M. D., and
WILLIAM KARLINER
Thirty-four additional patients with diagnoses of manic-depressive psychosis, involutional melancholia, and schizophrenia were treated with 5 or fewer electric shock treatments. All the patients had complete remissions for periods up to 28 months. Some patients previously reported, who had been given 5 or fewer treatments, were followed up and were found to have remained well up to 3
years after the last treatment.
