I'm excitedly starting an ECT elective this month but would like to supplement my time during so with some reading -- something with a balance of history, controversy, and procedure hopefully. If anyone has run into any good reads on this topic (internet or otherwise) I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.
comprehensive literature on ECT?

You may want to check your local medical library for these rather than buy them, unless you're planning on a career including ECT:

Chapter 92 of Psychiatry 2 ed by Tasman gives a good historical background and research up to 2000. That and some of the more recent pubs would be a good way to go (Prudic has a lot of good research on ECT, check out her articles). I was able to get the full chapter off Google Scholar earlier this year, still have the PDF of it.
