I have always been under the impression that it is quite rare for reasoning and verbal processes to be in the right hemisphere, even when a person is left- handed. That's why it was so interesting that emotional processing may switch hemispheres according to handed ness.
I don't know whether anything backs this up, but I have read, somewhere, that left-handlers who write "upside down" have verbal processing in their left hemispheres, but those who write the same as right- handlers do may have hemisphere reversal.
There is an interesting thread below about the new ways of doing ECT - briefer pulses and more on the right side. You may not be the only one thinking that a mistake may have been made for all these years!
