Events in April at the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center
The Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center has scheduled three very special programs for the first week of April.
On Wednesday Evening, April 2, 2014 our Challenges Lecture Series continues with Jonathan Sadowsky, Ph.D., who will present, “The Dualities of a Medical Treatment: Early Electroconvulsive Therapy in the United States.”This presentation will examine early ECT use in the United States, hoping that a reconstruction of its history will help to explain why it has been such a controversial treatment.

His presentation, which is about the early introduction of ECT into American psychiatry, is part of a larger work in progress.This lecture is from 7:30 – 9:00 pm, and is free and open to the public.
