    Does ECT have a place in Modern Medicine?

    Does Electroconvulsive Therapy have a place in 21st century evidence-based medicine? The following is a Presentation by Professor John Read given in March 2024. Dr. John Read is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of East London. He has published over 180 research papers and in 2022 was listed in Stanford University's register of the top 2% most cited researchers in the world. He has published six reviews of the ECT research literature (including four in peer-reviewed journals) and made multiple commentaries on the research. His most recent peer-reviewed review of the ECT literature was a 40-page paper, in 2019, written with Professor Irving Kirsch, Associate Director of Placebo Studies at Harvard Medical School. He is also the lead researcher on two independent audits of the administration and monitoring of ECT in England's Health Service and co-author of three studies of the accuracy of information provided to ECT patients and their families. https://www.uel.ac.uk/about-uel/staff/john-read⁠ His latest research: https://lifeafterect.com/participate-in-groundbreaking-research-share-your-experience-with-electroconvulsive-therapy-in-the-sectaff-survey/ This presentation was in colaboration with Participation and the Practice of Rights (PPR) https://www.nlb.ie/campaigns/mental-health Full presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY5CTuMbW2w&t=2s

    Linda Andre Book Interview with Philip Bennet

    An Interview with Linda Andre by Philip Bennet, recorded several years ago (the recording date was not included in the file). In it they discuss her book, Doctors of Deception, What they Don't Want You to Know About Shock Treatment. Our community has recently suffered a great loss. Linda Andre, author of one of the most important books on ECT ever written, passed away this month. Linda was my hero. I first came across her work while desperately searching the Internet for answers when ECT damaged my brain and my doctors refused to believe me. Reading her presentation "Electroconvulsive Therapy as a Head Injury" changed my life. Her work showed me that ECT can cause permanent brain damage and those affected by ECT are routinely denied testing and rehabilitation, as was the case with me. Linda showed me the hope of recovery through the stories of people who found a way to recover when doctors couldn't help them. There is so much I want to say about Linda, but after ECT, the right words are always so hard to find. Until I can write a full tribute post I wanted to do something so I recorded a small tribute to ger along with her second inteview with Philip Bennet. In it they sumarize key points from her book. Find links and resources and tributes to Linda Andre in the show notes.
