dc.description.abstractAmong the physical methods of treatment of mental disorder, convulsive methods give the most positive results. They consist in the artificial induct' on of convulsions, very much similar to epileptic seizures, by means of pentamethylcne-tetrazol or electric current. The original working hypothesis (VON MEDUNA) was an alleged biological antagonism between Schizophrenia and Epilepsy, which has been mainly disproved.en_GB
