this isn't a new story but Dully's is a fascinating memoir.
from npr: On Jan. 17, 1946, a psychiatrist named Walter Freeman launched a radical new era in the treatment of mental illness in this country. On that day, he performed the first-ever transorbital or "ice-pick" lobotomy in his Washington, D.C., office. Freeman believed that mental illness was related to overactive emotions, and that by cutting the brain he cut away these feelings. read it/listen to the podcast: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5014080 read his memoir: http://www.randomhouse.com/crown/mylobotomy/ howard dully's blog: http://howarddully.vox.com/ ![]() |
