The Practice of Electroconvulsive Therapy
Since the development of pharmacoconvulsive therapy in 1934 and of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in 1938, ECT has proven far more valuable than just the intervention of last resort. In comparison with psychotropic medications, we now know that ECT can act more effectively and more rapidly, with substantial clinical improvement that is often seen after only a few treatments. This is especially true for severely ill patients -- those with severe major depression with psychotic features, acute mania with psychotic features, or catatonia. For patients who are physically debilitated, elderly, or pregnant, ECT is also safer than psychotropic medications. The findings of the American Psychiatric ...

Psychosocial Treatment Research in Psychiatry
Although psychotherapy is a major mode of treatment in the entire field of mental health, it is - relative to the preponderance of its use - underinvestigated.

Psychosocial Treatment Research in Psychiatry examines the benefit of psychiatrists playing a more active role in the leadership of psychotherapy research, mental health professionals keeping up to date on new developments and advances in this field, and the incorporation of the latest developments in psychotherapy into residency training curricula.
