This is an extensive study of a psychoneurotic female patient who was treated with convulsive therapy (metrazol) combined with analysis. Eighty-six analytic sessions were held prior to metrazol treatment and thirty-seven in conjunction with metrazol. The patient undoubtedly showed a much faster progress when shock treatment was administered than before. Baker concludes that analysis could be shortened were it combined with shock treatment. He states that six other cases have been similarly treated, one with metrazol and five with insulin. With the exception of one, all showed marked improvement, some of them 'recovery'.
