Abstract

Carscallen, Buck, and Hobbs, feeling that only unbroken observation of lobotomized patients rather than intermittent spot sampling can adequately evaluate the results of lobotomy, report on such a detailed study. They conducted an investigation on a group of forty-nine lobotomized patients over a six-month postoperative period, studying 1, behavioral and symptomatic changes; 2, estimation of the prognostic value of certain factors for improvement with lobotomy; and 3, changes in intellectual functioning.
