| | lobotomy |
 | | Lobotomies were performed on a wide scale during the 1940s and up until about 1956, when antipsychotics, antidepressants, and other drugs that were much more effective in quieting mentally disturbed patients and alleviating their distress came into use. | | | The prefrontal lobotomy, a common type, involved severing the nerve pathways in the two frontal lobes of the brain, after entry to the brain had been achieved by boring two holes in the skull. | | | lobotomy was favoured for those patients who did not respond to electroshock treatments; the emphasis was on making such patients more manageable. |

| | Scientist in the 50’s began experimenting with the use of new kinds of psychiatric drugs (such as thorazine) in treating patients, as medication is reversible and brain surgery is not. | | | We can begin by exploring the origins of lobotomy in general: In the late 19th century, the scientific community was beginning to understand that behavior was largely controlled by could be mapped out in the brain. | | | By the late 50’s, lobotomies had become nearly obsolete, and the status of the procedure was downgraded from effective to experimental. |

| | One study found that only 40 percent of lobotomy patients had been "cured" by the procedure, with the rest showing little or no change. | | | For one thing, it's not at all clear that the lobotomy was what helped the 40 percent who showed dramatic improvement after the surgery. | | | The lobotomy was born in 1890, when a sick fuck named Friederich Golz sliced the frontal lobes out of his dogs' brains -- just to see what would happen. |

| | It was not until the 50’s that opposition to lobotomy became especially vocal and finally with the introduction of anti-psychotic medications such as Thorazine doctors became less and less reliant on lobotomy to treat patients (4). | | | Egas Moniz was particularly fascinated by the idea of the behavioral changes in Fulton’s chimps and posed the shocking question, "If the frontal lobe removal prevents the development of experimental neurosis in animals and eliminates frustrational behavior, why would it not be possible to relieve anxiety states in man by surgical means?" (1). | | | One of the major failures of the proponents of lobotomy was that they did not seem to acknowledge the extreme specificity of brain structure. |

| | Father of the Lobotomy |
| | Many lobotomies (probably most) were actually performed for purposes of behavioral control or punishment for distressed, agitated patients, not to actually treat an Axis One psychiatric illness. | | | Nevertheless, hospitals were willing to put up with lobotomies and all their shortcomings for no other apparent reason than post-operation lethargic patients were easier to care for than pre-operation emotionally-charged ones. | | | Unfortunately, the outcome of the practice of the lobotomy has caused the formation of groups who are not only against psycho-surgery, but psychiatry in general (the Foundation for Truth in Reality, for example, whose slogan is "Say No to Psychiatry"). |
