From Linda Andre, a nationally-known survivor and activist, and head of CTIP, a review of the newest video on ECT!

An excellent article on ECT from the late Quinn Rossander. His article examines the history of shock treatments and contains some personal observations. Ross was an amazing person himself, fighting hard for the rights of mental patients, and putting his money where his mouth is. Sadly, Ross died in May 1998. The world lost an amazing human being.

Dr. Max Fink, shock doc grandpa, calls for a more liberal attitude in using ECT in children. His article on pediatric ECT discusses the use of ECT in an 8-year-old child, and among 150 adolescents.

From a visitor, two fantastic cartoons depicting ECT. Charles, you're a talented artist, but you didn't include a valid email address...please email me! I tried to write to you and thank you for such brilliant work, but it bounced. The first, called unemployment, depicts a shock doc on the unemployment line. The second, shock, shows a series of panels and the wonderful results! Herr Doktor is delightful! A big thank you to Charles!
