  • Title: [Electroconvulsive therapy in compulsive syndromes. A case report].
    Author: Wohlfahrt A.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1996 May; 67(5):397-9. PubMed ID: 9005350.
    Abstract:
    We report on a case of successful ECT in serious drug-resistant and psychotherapy-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. The 44-year old male patient had already had symptoms of this disorder for 4 years, and they completely disappeared after seven ECTs (1 bi-, 6 unilateral). After remission of the obsessions the patient underwent a behaviour therapy to consolidate the success of the ECT treatment and to prepare the patient for returning to work. He remains free of obsessions 18 months later.
