Abstract
I carried out 2,443 treatments by electro-narcosis on 152 patients, between 29 January, 1948, and 19 February, 1949, without fatality, and without any adverse personality change attributable to the treatment. Of these patients 105 were schizophrenics, whose treatment was completed before 29 January, 1949. This series alone is considered in detail here, but the experience gained from the treatment of the remaining patients is taken into account, especially in relation to difficulties and dangers.Keywords
