Book Reading #34 - Opening Skinner's Box

Chapter 10: Chipped
Summary:
This chapter explores the history of the lobotomy, as invented by Moniz. Psychosurgery is at least as effective as psychopharmaceuticals, if not very more effective. Finally the author explains a recent lobotomy and it was a good success.
Discussion:

Regardless of the success, I still find lobotomy as abhorrent. I'm not a fan of drugs either, but I still think it's wrong to mess with the brain like that.
