Abstrakt:	The article discusses the effects of right and left unilateral ElectroConvulsive Therapy (ECT) on naming and visual discrimination. The authors found a greater impairment on a test of naming and a tendency to slower return to consciousness after left-sided than after right-sided treatments. The time needed for the psychological examination was longer after left-sided than after right-sided treatment, and this difference was correlated with differences between the hand in manual skill. The utility of unilateral ECT for the exploration of the relation between asymmetries of hand and hemispheres is also discussed.
