Chi era Ugo Cerletti? La scarna biografia di quest’uomo dice che nacque a Conegliano nel 1877 e che morí nel 1963. Di professione era uno psichiatra, formato nel tempo in cui la psicoanalisi freudiana si imponeva in tutta Europa. Ma Cerletti inseguiva altre idee e altre terapie: soprattutto una, quella che lui stesso chiamò con il termine di elettroshock. Inventare e soste - nere una pratica che in pochi decenni è diventata sinonimo di brutalità, di sofferenza e persino di tortura è stato per Cerletti una sciagura. Un uomo che ebbe un ruolo fondamentale nella storia della medicina diventò, agli occhi di molti, il carnefice dei pazzi. Un’onta che investí lui e la sua invenzione, di cui si mise in dubbio l’efficacia. Carlo Patriarca, medico, scrittore, ma soprattutto uomo abituato a leggere tra le righe di documenti d’archivio, capace di muoversi tra le pieghe della storia con rigore e precisione, in una sorta di romanzo-biografia prova a raccontare questa storia dal punto di vista di un ipotetico assistente di Cerletti. Un assistente che ha avuto la sfortuna di avere un fratello pazzo. Ne esce un romanzo suggestivo, vertiginoso, dove è in gioco il progresso della medicina ma anche l’orrore sociale verso la malattia mentale. Ne esce la storia drammatica di uno scienziato che pagò il suo modo di trattare e curare la follia. Il paradosso è che molti anni dopo la sua morte Cerletti sarebbe stato riabilitato, per quanto parzialmente. Quella macchina per curare i pazzi è stata riconsiderata. Ma questo l’inventore dell’elettroshock non avrebbe mai potuto immaginarlo. Pochi come Carlo Patriarca sono stati capaci di raccontarci la medicina con questa nitidezza: non solo come progresso, e non solo come scienza, ma anche come una strada frastagliata, imprecisa, spesso interrotta, persino insensata alle volte. Una strada controversa e ambigua assai piú vicina alla letteratura di quanto si possa immaginare. «Avremmo curato depressi gravi e schizofrenici risvegliando dal profondo del loro cervello l’istinto vitale? E se l’elettroshock fosse come rinascere? Venire di nuovo al mondo?

La pratica dell'elettroshock ha attirato su di sé, nel corso degli anni, numerose critiche. Condannato da un'intera generazione per la sua violenza, esso ritorna periodicamente alla ribalta come oggetto di accese polemiche. In questo volume si ripropongono tematiche connesse alla scoperta di questo dibattutissimo metodo di cura, analizzando la figura e le parole del suo inventore, Ugo Cerletti. Descritto il più delle volte come "eroe negativo" ed esponente di una scienza disumana, rozza e violenta, Cerletti ha affrontato, nella sua carriera, numerose strettoie e svolte fondamentali della storia della psichiatria - dal desolante quadro di impotenza terapeutica della psichiatria di fine '800 alla nascita delle moderne teorie biologiche dei disturbi mentali; dagli studi sulla natura e l'origine di schizofrenia e depressione fino alla rivoluzione psicofarmacologica degli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta -, cui ha prestato il proprio contributo in modo spesso originale e con prospettive talvolta inaspettate. Gli "scritti sull'elettroshock" qui riproposti possono essere quindi letti non solo come parte di un dibattito che non si è ancora concluso, ma anche come un contributo alla riflessione sul "ragionare scientifico" di un personaggio il cui pensiero è a lungo rimasto ignorato.

This is the most comprehensive, and most comprehensively chilling, study of modern torture yet written. Darius Rejali, one of the world's leading experts on torture, takes the reader from the late nineteenth century to the aftermath of Abu Ghraib, from slavery and the electric chair to electrotorture in American inner cities, and from French and British colonial prison cells and the Spanish-American War to the fields of Vietnam, the wars of the Middle East, and the new democracies of Latin America and Europe. As Rejali traces the development and application of one torture technique after another in these settings, he reaches startling conclusions. As the twentieth century progressed, he argues, democracies not only tortured, but set the international pace for torture. Dictatorships may have tortured more, and more indiscriminately, but the United States, Britain, and France pioneered and exported techniques that have become the lingua franca of modern torture: methods that leave no marks. Under the watchful eyes of reporters and human rights activists, low-level authorities in the world's oldest democracies were the first to learn that to scar a victim was to advertise iniquity and invite scandal. Long before the CIA even existed, police and soldiers turned instead to "clean" techniques, such as torture by electricity, ice, water, noise, drugs, and stress positions. As democracy and human rights spread after World War II, so too did these methods. Rejali makes this troubling case in fluid, arresting prose and on the basis of unprecedented research--conducted in multiple languages and on several continents--begun years before most of us had ever heard of Osama bin Laden or Abu Ghraib. The author of a major study of Iranian torture, Rejali also tackles the controversial question of whether torture really works, answering the new apologists for torture point by point. A brave and disturbing book, this is the benchmark against which all future studies of modern torture will be measured.

Shock therapy is making a comeback today in the treatment of serious mental illness. Despite its reemergence as a safe and effective psychiatric tool, however, it continues to be shrouded by a longstanding negative public image, not least due to films such as the classic One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, where the inmate of a psychiatric clinic (played by Jack Nicholson) is subjected to electro-shock to curb his rebellious behavior. Beyond its vilification in popular culture, the stereotype of convulsive therapy as a dangerous and inhumane practice is fuelled by professional posturing and public misinformation. Electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, has in the last thirty years been considered a method of last resort in the treatment of debilitating depression, suicidal ideation, and other forms of mental illness. Yet, ironically, its effectiveness in treating these patients would suggest it as a frontline therapy, bringing relief from acute symptoms and saving lives.

Yet, ironically, its effectiveness in treating these patients would suggest it as a frontline therapy, bringing relief from acute symptoms and saving lives. In this book, Edward Shorter and David Healy trace the controversial history of ECT and other "shock" therapies. Drawing on case studies, public debates, extensive interviews, and archival research, the authors expose the myths about ECT that have proliferated over the years. By showing ECT's often life-saving results, Shorter and Healy endorse a point of view that is hotly contested in professional circles and in public debates, but for the nearly half of all clinically depressed patients who do not respond to drugs, this book brings much needed hope.

The compelling story of the quest to understand the human mind - and its diseases This engaging presentation of our evolving understanding of the human mind and the meaning of mental illness asks the questions that have fascinated philosophers, researchers, clinicians, and ordinary persons for millennia: What causes human behavior? What processes underlie personal functioning and psychopathology, and what methods work best to alleviate disorders of the mind? Written by Theodore Millon, a leading researcher in personality theory and psychopathology, it features dozens of illuminating profiles of famous clinicians and philosophers.
