Extract

Electronarcosis is considered in some places to be as good as insulin in the treatment of schizophrenia (1, 2, 3, 4). One publication on the subject emphatically states that electronarcosis is only equivalent to E.C.T. as a therapeutic measure (5). There is such a marked difference of opinion in these preliminary reports that one wonders if we are dealing with the same procedure.
