ABSTRACT

An account is given of a method of shock treatment using photic and chemical stimulation.

Full convulsions do not appear to be necessary for a full therapeutic effect.

Myoclonus is suggested as a clinical indicator in place of E.E.G. control.

Results so far bear favourable comparison with E.C.T. although further investigation is required to support this conclusion.

Received for publication April 22, 1950.
