Abstract
Objective: Rey and Walter (1997) published a notable review on 396 children and teenagers given electroshock therapy (ECT) between 1942 and 1996.

Method: The systematic data collated by Rey and Walter (1997) is examined. Results: Comparisons between a meta‐analysis and a review of published ECT literature are discussed.
