The Journal of ECT is an academic journal focused on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and related fields.[a] The journal was founded as Convulsive Therapy in 1985, and Max Fink was the founding editor.[1] After Fink stepped down in 1994, Charles Kellner assumed the role. In 2004, Vaughn McCall became editor.[6] The fourth editor-in-chief, Randall Espinoza, was named in 2023.[7] The journal aims to be "a major force in reducing stigma" against ECT.[6] It is published on behalf of the International Society for ECT and Neurostimulation.[3]
