Summary
The adoption of a uniform system of recording and an amplified plan of reporting the pharmacological shock treatment of the psychoses is strongly urged. It is contended that both clinical and research values would be greatly enhanced thereby, and that such a step would constitute a major advance toward endowing the shock treatment, at long last, with some semblance of scientific respectability.
