Ect and Young Minds: Why Choose It?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 June 2009
Extract
Comprehensive evaluation of the risks and benefits of applying ECT to young minds would probably not support the practise. This paper explores why some practitioners continue to choose ECT over viable alternative interventions, and argues for improved safeguards against unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments. Ethical decision making must look beyond rapidity of treatment effects, and consider the pros and cons of all available treatments.
