ECT: an assessment of mental health professionals' knowledge and attitudes.
The attitudes of four groups of mental health professionals (psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, and social workers) toward ECT were compared to their levels of clinical experience, knowledge about ECT, and professional background. In each of these four groups a more positive attitude about ECT correlated with increased levels of clinical experience and knowledge.
