Organic Psychotic Syndromes Occurring During Electric Convulsive Therapy

Diagnosis of organicity by means of spiral aftereffect.

“…Second, use of a single shock likely had minimal effects. Had more been used, results would likely have been more marked as has been shown by other studies (4,8). Third, as he himself admits, the use of the same form of the Wechsler Memory Scale for evidence of impairment is faulty because of practice effects, thus leaving him with no adequate criterion of memory impairment.…”

Cognitive and emotional effects of electroconvulsive shock in rats.

“…The method of measuring confusion was not described in detail, but was apparently observational, rather than experimental. Kalinowsky (11) was unable to verify Holovachka's results. He reports that "administration of oxygen during the treatment did not prevent confusion.…”

Personality Changes in Electroconvulsive Treatment

“…By psycho-organic disturbances we do not mean those organicpsychotic reactions occurring during ECT described by Kalinowsky (1945). These reactions are mostly acute and severe but transient.…”
