ELECTRIC SHOCK (10)

(psychiatry) the practice of administering an electric shock to the head of a patient in a supposed effort to treat mental illness. There is no therapeutic reason for shocking anyone and there are no authentic cases on record of anyone having been cured of anything by shock. The reverse is true. Electric shock causes often irreparable damage to the person in the form of brain damage and impaired mental ability. —HDA Tapes (Oakland Lectures) Approved Glossary (16.4.92), —Melbourne Congress Approved Glossary (2.4.92), —Perception of Truth Approved Glossary (9 June 92), —Conquest of Chaos Approved Glossary (8.7.92), —PTS-SP Approved Glossary, —3rd South African published appr gls (14.4.92)
