Douglas Cameron

Douglas G Cameron is a shock survivor who in 1993 helped launch Senate Bill 205 in Texas which quickly became Texas law, totally prohibiting forced ECT, the only state in the Union to so accomplish. He is the author of How To Survive Being Committed To a Mental Hospital, his 1970s experiences in Texas mental hospitals, the 1994 article “ECT, Sham Statistics, the Myth of Convulsive Therapy and the Case for Consumer Misinformation,” in the Journal of Mind and Behavior, in which he was the first to identify so called “new and improved” Brief Pulse ECT machines as more, not less powerful than those of the past, and now, he comes forward with The Great Electroconvulsive Therapy Hoax (Manufacturer Fraud and Deception), Volumes I and II, in which he completely analyzes and reveals the secrets of the manufacturers’ machines. Cameron was a professor of English at Houston City College in Houston Texas for circa twenty years, now resides in both Houston and Austin Texas, and is currently the world’s single lay expert on the modern ECT machine itself.
