This is one of my favorite documentaries. Dr. Walter Freeman (1895-1972) created the psycho-surgery technique known as the "trans-orbital lobotomy", going in under the eyeball, instead of through the front of the skull. This made lobotomies relatively safe and about as non-invasive as brain surgery could be. Doctor Freeman then went about the business of promoting lobotomy as a medical solution to a whole range of emotional, behavioral and social problems-- with tragic results.
