The Toronto Mayors Committee on Aging is in the process of putting together a
forum on electroshock therapy and the elderly.

We are looking for someone who would have a critical perspective (and academic
expertise) on this practice.

We are already in touch with the supporters of this approach and citizen activists
who oppose it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
