Reviews

The book, simply put, is the current authority on what we need to know about the use of ECT in children and adolescents. I am tempted to end my review with that statement; however, that would not do justice to the significant efforts the authors and editors have put in to collate all what is known in this field today. . . A highly recommended read!
*Rajeev Jairam, Australasian Psychiatry, 22(4), 2014*

This book is a masterpiece. It should be available to anyone who treats patients for whom ECT may be applicable.
*Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association*

The book, simply put, is the current authority on what we need to know about the use of ECT in children and adolescents... After reading the book, I feel much more empowered to have the conversation with young people and their family should I need to consider ECT as a treatment option... A highly recommended read!
