| Résumé : |
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a stigmatized treatment even among doctors. This restrains the accessibility of ECT for patients in need of this treatment. In Germany, the utilization of ECT is low as compared with other Western industrialized countries. However, increasing application rates of ECT in Germany indicate some degree of support from psychiatrists. Therefore, the present study examined the current attitudes among 3 subgroups of psychiatrists toward ECT. |
