Electroconvulsive treatment is a serious and effective biological therapy of current psychiatry which is associated with a certain risk. Treatment with ECT creates a series of problems of a ethico-moral nature which may be solved only in part by the gaining of informed consent of the patient for the treatment procedure. The procedure of gaining "informed consent" in relation to ECT ought to find its regulation in specific acts of the law. The problems concerned with ECT as with other problems in psychiatry should be demistified and become an element of general knowledge available to the whole of society.
电休克治疗是当前精神病学中一种严肃且有效的生物疗法，但存在一定风险。电休克治疗引发了一系列伦理道德性质的问题，这些问题只能通过患者对治疗程序获得知情同意来部分解决。与电休克治疗相关的“知情同意”程序应在具体法律行为中找到规范。与电休克治疗相关的问题以及精神病学中的其他问题应消除神秘感，成为全社会都能了解的常识内容。
