The effects of cerebral electric therapy (electrosleep) and placebo on self-ratings of anxiety, depression, and hostility were compared. No difference in the amount of improvement shown by the two groups appeared on any of the five measures employed, although a major placebo effect was evident on all of the criteria. The results argue against the use of electrosleep as a treatment for these symptoms except when it may be employed for its placebo value.
比较了脑电疗法（电睡眠）和安慰剂对焦虑、抑郁和敌意自评的影响。在所采用的五项测量指标中，两组显示出的改善程度没有差异，尽管在所有标准上都有明显的主要安慰剂效应。结果表明，除了可能因其安慰剂价值而使用外，反对将电睡眠用作这些症状的治疗方法。
