Electroconvulsive therapy in recent years has received extensive coverage in the mass media, much of it negative. However, little can be found in either the professional literature or the popular press on the attitudes of professionals, patients, and the general public toward ECT. A questionnaire study of 587 individuals drawn from these three categories shows an over-all favorable response to the use of ECT, despite the presence of significant differences in response among members of each category. The implications of the findings for current practice and research are discussed.
近年来，电休克疗法在大众媒体上得到了广泛报道，其中大部分是负面的。然而，无论是专业文献还是大众媒体，都很少能找到关于专业人员、患者和公众对电休克疗法态度的内容。一项对从这三类人群中抽取的587人的问卷调查显示，尽管每类人群中的回答存在显著差异，但总体上对电休克疗法的使用持积极态度。文中讨论了这些研究结果对当前实践和研究的启示。
