first developed ECT because schizophrenia is rare in patients with epilepsy- although no cause and effect just a relationship

Bennet (2003)
patients found the experience terrifying and it made them relive previous abuse- it also made them lose trust in mental health professionals

no long term damage to memory or intelligence, but can cause mental and emotional dysfunction

Benton (1981)
ECT works in three ways- operant conditioning (acts as punishment however not probable and consistent), memory loss means patients can change their views (but unilateral ECT) on life & biochemical changes such as neurotransmitters

ECT researchers today don't know anymore about ECT than we did when it was first developed and used

Thayran and Adams (2005)
used real ECT and a placebo and found that patients that received the real ECT showed improvements compared to those who had the placebo, although they produced no evidence of this

Sarita et al (1998)
used 36 schizophrenic patients and found that there was no difference between those that had stimulated ECT and real ECT

Drury (1996)
CBT helps reduce positive symptoms and recovery times especially when combined with chemotherapy- however because CBT is mostly always combined with chemotherapy it is hard to see the success rate

Kingdon and Kerscher (2006)
not suitable for everyone e.g. older patients because it'll be harder to challenge their maladaptive thoughts as they have been there longer
9 of 12
Frith (1992)
patients are misinterpreting the voices they hear because they are actually their own inner speech- CBT helps the patient recognise the voices as their own

Bentall et al (1994)
CBT should emphasise controlling the voices and thoughts rather than paying attention to unconscious thoughts and feelings behind them- however this doesn't get rid of maladaptive thoughts
11 of 12
Bentall et al (1994)
effective for patients that are on their first episode of schizophrenia because it's easier to challenge maladaptive thoughts as they can remember a time when they didn't have them
