¿Por qué una técnica que, en buena lógica, hoy nos horroriza –la mutilación ciega del cerebro con l. a. vana esperanza de curar l. a. enfermedad psychological– cobró una extraordinario auge durante los años 1940 y 1950, hasta el punto de que sólo en los Estados Unidos de América se practicaron más de cuarenta mil intervenciones de este tipo? Una práctica, cuyo important iniciador, el portugués Egas Moniz, recibió por ello el Premio Nobel en 1949, y que al correr de los años aquel galardón sería objeto de una agria polémica impulsada por hijos y familiares de personas lobotomizadas.

Para entenderlo, este libro nos ayuda a situarnos en el contexto de l. a. época, en los conocimientos y los angeles mentalidad reinante sobre l. a. enfermedad psychological, en l. a. realidad de los escasos tratamientos disponibles, y en el papel crítico que jugaron los angeles prensa y los medios de comunicación. Titulares de entonces presentaron a las lobotomías como “La cirugía del alma”, “Operación revolucionaria”, “Milagro de los angeles cirugía del cerebro”, o las calificaron como “una de las innovaciones quirúrgicas más grandes de esta generación”. l. a. gente preguntaba a los médicos si l. a. lobotomía servía para aumentar l. a. inteligencia o mejorar el carácter, o si podría curar el asma.

Los hospitales psiquiátricos de aquellos años eran, en realidad, gigantescos almacenes de enfermos mentales abandonados a su suerte en condiciones infrahumanas; instituciones ya sobrecargadas que se vieron desbordadas ante los angeles avalancha de nuevos ingresos provenientes de los angeles Segunda Guerra Mundial. Cualquier procedimiento que ofreciera l. a. oportunidad de devolver al enfermo a su casa, muchas veces confuso y embotado, pero más tranquilo y manejable por los suyos, sería bien recibido tanto por los angeles familia como por el agobiado own hospitalario. Si además tal intervención aparecía adornada de un air of mystery científica de tratamiento de vanguardia, el último avance de l. a. neuropsiquiatría, no resulta difícil comprender su rápida expansión.
