Abstract

A 35-year-old man with schizophrenia associated with a 10-year history of repetitive and often severe self-injurious behaviors was treated successfully with maintenance electroconvulsive therapy. Initially his condition did not respond to multiple psychotropic agents (including a year-long trial of clozapine), 27 hospitalizations, two courses of bilateral electroconvulsive therapy, and supportive psychotherapy with partial hospitalization. After the initiation of maintenance electroconvulsive therapy, this patient was able to tolerate residential placement and begin a work therapy program with only one instance of self-injurious behavior in the past 17 months.
