Abstract
Electronarcosis is a state of coma, or anaesthesia, induced and maintained by the continuous passage of electricity through the brain. Although described in animals and man many years previously, it was not introduced into psychiatry until 1944, when a group of Californian workers (Frostig et al.) experimented with its use as an alternative to insulin coma treatment in schizophrenia.
