“How many ideas have there been in the history of man which were unthinkable ten years before they appeared?”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“To transform the world and society, we must first transform ourselves.”
— Ho Chi Minh

Frank is an aphorist and editor of The History of Shock Treatment. Peter Schrag, author of Mind Control, has written, “The History of Shock Treatment is without question not only the most comprehensive collection in the field, it’s also a major contribution to the history of science.”
