2. A full biography describing the contributions to electroshock, pharmacoEEG, clinical psychopharmacology, opioid and cannabis studies and catatonia has been completed and is being edited. It should be available within a month.

 

3. A curriculum vitae cites published articles, reviews and published books.  All the print publications are available through the Max Fink Collection, Stony Brook University|Libraries.

 

4. The archives contain numerous photographs taken at meetings of ACNP, CINP, SBP, ACT, etc.  of members of these societies.  These can be selected, dated and added to the INHN files.

 

The Archives were established with the encouragement of Edward Shorter and David Healy when they interviewed me for their book, Shock Therapy, in 2005
