The Lobotomist explores one of the darkest chapters of American medicine: the desperate attempt to treat the hundreds of thousands of psychiatric patients in need of help during the middle decades of the twentieth century. Into this crisis stepped Walter Freeman, M.D., who saw a solution in lobotomy, a brain operation intended to reduce the severity of psychotic symptoms. Drawing on Freeman’s documents and interviews with Freeman's family, Jack El-Hai takes a penetrating look at the life and work of this complex scientific genius. The Lobotomist explores one of the darkest chapters of American medicine: the desperate attempt to treat the hundreds of thousands of psychiatric patients in need of help during the middle decades of the twentieth century. Into this crisis stepped Walter Freeman, M.D., who saw a solution in lobotomy, a brain operation intended to reduce the severity of psychotic symptoms. Although many patients did not benefit from the thousands of lobotomies Freeman performed, others believed their lobotomies changed them for the better. Drawing on a rich collection of documents Freeman left behind and interviews with Freeman's family, Jack El-Hai takes a penetrating look into the life of this complex scientific genius and traces the physician's fascinating life and work.

苦逼找不到 critize的点
评分正如A.Solomon所言，现代精神医学的历史没有记载上“脑叶白质切除术（lobotomy）”就是不完整的。此书在这一点上具有划时代的意义。
评分苦逼找不到 critize的点
评分这本书写得太平淡干涩了，真可惜这么有意思的一个题材，真可惜这个作者花了那么多功夫搜集资料。不过才看了1/3，不知道后面会不会有进步。 -------------- 终于还是在读完之前还掉了，人生太短好书太多，为什么要委屈自己啊。
