Description
The physical treatments used in psychiatry are covered in this book, which considers the various drug therapies, electroconvulsive therapy, psychosurgery and the more esoteric therapies currently in vogue. Each treatment is reviewed critically so as to provide an up-to-date reference source for postgraduates and research workers in psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery and pharmacology. The role of physical treatments in the total context of psychiatric management is also examined.
