Thanks, [|].
From the content on Wikipedia, neither electroconvulsive nor insulin shock treatments would have been attempted at the Y during the halcyon days of "Get the Gays!"
The descriptions I've found regarding BYU's 'aversion therapy' involved 60 to 90-minute sessions, rather than the two 'in-patient' treatments Wikipedia describes.
Besides, Merrill Joseph Bateman, 11th president of Brigham Young University from 1996 to 2003, declared in 1997, "We have not been able to verify your assertion that electric shock therapy...was ever used on gay and lesbian students at BYU."*
