Letter to the Editor of the OC Register
A psychiatric no-brainer
The article, "Lobotomy foes seek to revoke Nobel Prize" [News, July 14], about Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz's Nobel prize for devising lobotomy as a purported solution to human problems, shows again how psychiatry has betrayed the trust of people in need. As with other cruel psychiatric methods, such as electric shock therapy, forced mind-altering drugging, etc., psychiatrists "twist the knife" once it is firmly imbedded in the body of a too-trusting victim while picking the pocket of the taxpayer for ill-gotten appropriations.
