Excellent post, Sue. I think you are right on target with these comments. In the lecture I gave at the library the general consensus was that the only people who were lobotomized were the "worst, sickest, and most violent" patients. Though I tried to explain otherwise, it was a struggle to get them to truly understand.
Readers should know that Sue and I are email correspondents. She has been invaluable in pointing out excellent responses to the arguments of psychosurgery apologists, particularly the Nobel Committee. Thank you Sue!
