Ernest Hemingway Shock Therapy
Hemingway was not happy in last years of his life. This superficially set off alarm bells at
FBI control center, ever cautious for any mention of hostility. There were marks of psychological
weakening in 1960. He became unexpectedly concerned about money and his security. He was
permitted to inter the Mayo Clinic in November of 1960, where he actually was treated by
electroconvulsive therapy for several times, and he was released in January 1961. It can be said
unhappy side special impact of shock therapy is the damage of memory, and for Hemingway it
was a terrible loss. Deprived of his memory he could no extensive inscribe, could no longer

Writes Hotchner, Decades later, in response to a
Freedom of Information petition, the FBI released its Hemingway file. It revealed that beginning
in the 1940s J. Edgar Hoover had placed Ernest under surveillance because he was suspicious of
Ernest’s activities in Cuba” (Swaine, 2011, 120). Agents filed information on him and controlled
his telephones over the next years. The inquiry went on all over his custody at St. Mary’s
Hospital. It can be possible that the telephone outside his room was tapped after all. Hotchner

was extensively criticized.
His next literary creation, Islands in the Stream, printed after death in 1970, he rejected as
too deprived. Not till the publication of his book The Old Man and the Sea (1952) he recuperated
the name of his first profession. The novel won Hemingway the 1953 Pulitzer Prize also a
