This comprehensive guide to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) provides psychiatrists with the skills and knowledge needed for optimal treatment. With its up-to-date coverage, it is an essential resource for both experienced practitioners and those in training.
The book begins by explaining ECT, its history, and how it is carried out, before moving on to the practical aspects of treatment, including patient selection, consent, medical evaluation, and managing side effects.
