In this fully-revised fourth edition of what has long been the standard textbook for the field, Dr. Richard Abrams once again demonstrates his unique ability to analyze and present a wealth of new(and often technical) material in a lucid, compelling, and highly readable fashion. Hundreds of new clinical studies called from the more than 1500 published since the third edition appeared have been analyzed in depth and incorporated throughout the book.
An important new chapter has been added on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS) therapy, a treatment for depression that is widely-used in Europe and expected to become available soon for clinical use in the United States. Dr. Abrams exposes the scientific flaws in several widely-cited reports, while focusing on the few carefully-controlled studies that provide solid support for the results claimed.
The sections on the electrical stimulus, seizing introduction, seizure quality, and treatment electrode placement have been completely revised and updated with new information on those clinical and technical issues that are presently of greatest concern to practitioners and researchers. A comprehensive critical assessment of the nature of the seizure threshold and the validity of the stimulus titration method for ECT dosing is presented for the first time, with conclusions and recommendations that many will find surprising.
The continued controversy over the relative efficacies of unilateral and bitemporal ECT is revisited in light of the latest dosing strategies and treatment outcomes reported, and of the latest results obtained with bifrontal ECT. The potential clinical and theoretical advantages of the recently-rediscovered technique of ultrabrief pulse therapy are explained in detail. The chapter on the memory and cognitive consequences of ECT has been expanded to focus on the subjective memory effects of treatment, with new analysis of the possible biological basis for the improvement in subjective memory so often reported. Recently-published claims of persistent or permanent memory effects of ECT are refuted in detail.
In full accordance with the American Psychiatric Association's new guidelines for the practice of ECT, Dr. Abrams' book remains the essential practical guide and reference work for all those who prescribe, perform, or assist with ECT, or are interested in learning more about the subject.

Great for home office
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
This was a great replacement to the chair I use when I work from home, padding is firm and comfortable so I have no issue sitting on it for hours, the arm rest are foldable so is very convenient when my dogs are in co worker duty. Very easy to put together and it feels very firm and stable.

Thick seat cushion
Color: Grey
This double-layer seat cushion is so comfortable! Before, my lower back would ache after just an hour on a hard bench, but now I can work in this chair for most of the day without feeling tired. The PU leather has a great texture, looks high-end, and is incredibly easy to maintain—just wipe it down with a cloth when it gets dirty. It feels smooth and breathable. The 360-degree swivel is very smooth, making it convenient to reach for documents in the office. The casters roll quietly and won’t scratch the floor. For anyone who spends a lot of time working at a desk, the comfort level at this price point is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it.

Meh
Color: Black
It's ok. I got it because it looked like it has more cushion and might be more comfortable. Nope. It's the same comfort level as different chairs. My reer still goes numb and gets uncomfortable in this chair. Also, where your arms sit, the chair arms are slightly curved upwards and it causes my chair to be unable to fit under my desk. If they weren't slightly curved, that wouldn't happen. It's just another chair, nothing spectacular.

Solid quality and comfortable
Color: Light Grey, Color: Light Grey
Wonderful quality chair, solid and sturdy, it was easy to put together, the directions were very clear and all the pieces fit together perfectly without issue. It is made of breathable material and I love that the arms flip up easily. You can raise it up or down and it has an adjustable headrest. It also has adjustable lumber support. It rolls easily and the color is the only reason I might return, I think I want a different one instead. The chair is comfortable for a petite person but equally comfortable for a tall person. We have both in our family and it is great for both. The armrests are comfortable and there is really nothing negative to say about this chair at all. Considering the quality, it is a great value for the money.

I’ve been very happy with this chair so far. The quality feels solid, and the materials look durable. The color matches the listing perfectly and fits nicely with my office setup. It’s very comfortable for long periods of sitting, with good support for my back and shoulders. Assembly was straightforward, and all the parts were included. The chair looks modern and professional, and the overall appearance exceeded my expectations. It feels stable and secure, even when reclining or moving around. The wheels roll smoothly, and the chair is easy to adjust for a comfortable fit. Overall, this is a well-made, comfortable, and attractive office chair that offers great value for the price.
