Today's post continues our series, "Classics in ECT" with a commentary by Max Fink and Mickey Taylor from 2007:

Fink M, Taylor MA.
JAMA. 2007 Jul 18;298(3):330-2. No abstract available. 
PMID:

The pdf is here.

The article is a concise review of the state of ECT in 2007, with a focus on comparing the CORE and Columbia University studies. It is clear, to-the-point, and remarkably relevant for ECT practice 13 years later. It reached a very wide audience since it was published in JAMA rather than a specialty psychiatry journal.
I hope you will all read it, it will be time well spent.
