Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) remains a widely used treatment for severe mental illness - and perhaps the most effective. It behooves psychiatrists, then, whether in practice or still in training, to be skilled both in diagnosis and the techniques of the treatment. This is what makes Principles and Practice of Electroconvulsive Therapy, with its up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of all aspects of ECT, such an invaluable resource. The manual begins with a summary on what ECT is and a brief history of the treatment. It then guides readers through the typical course of ECT, from patient selection and consent to treatment management and side effect mitigation. The book also provides an examination of other neuropsychiatric stimulation therapies in relation to ECT and explains how to choose among them. All chapters conclude with key points that summarize the most salient ideas. Readers seeking to further educate themselves on ECT will also benefit from the exhaustive reference list. Though particularly useful for psychiatrists and psychiatric residents, Principles and Practice of Electroconvulsive Therapy, with its straightforward style, is comprehensible and useful for any mental health or medical professional interested in ECT.
