ongoing treatments of a 30-year-old mother of two, the program provides interviews with
people on both sides of the issue, such as Dr. Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist and outspoken
critic of ECT, and Roland Kohloff, the New York Philharmonics chief timpanist, who
claims ECT saved both his life and his sons life. A Discovery Channel Production.
