Summary
| Description | This film shows the improvement that can result from prefrontal lobotomy in chronic psychotics. Four patients are shown before and after the operation. Patients include one 25-year-old aggressive female, one 22-year-old aggressive male, one female who had been catatonic for five years, and one 26-year-old Ph.D. who has had catatonic lapses in the last three years. All patients appeared calmer and more sociable after surgery. Only the five-year catatonic female had to continue hospitalization after the lobotomy, although she had improved greatly. Filmed at the Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, Omaha, Nebraska. Credits: A.E. Bennett. Received: (date unknown); donation; from Psychological Cinema Register of Pennsylvania State University. |
