Abstract
ECT in the media: Newspapers reports on ECT are extremely biased. A qu antitative analysis of four German and Swiss papers demonstrates impre ssingly the change of meaning of synonymous terms like ''Electroschock '' and ''Schocktherapie'' which refer to torture and brutal reforms of Eastern European communist economies.
