Are they talking about Shock Treatment? It doesn't matter really, anyway. I guess I feel that unless your extremly suicidal, cognitive therapy is a better way to learn to cope with the past. Our experience is what makes us who we are. I have a co-worker who was treated that way, and is "normal" -- but they cannot remember anything that happened prior to being 18 years old. I think in some ways that is troubling for that individual. They are glad to be rid of the "horror" they experienced, but it was at the sacrifice of all their memories.
